About this detail

A masonry wall ties into a structural steel framing system at a seismic isolation joint. A steel beam connects to the masonry wall using a 1/2-inch by 8-inch by 10-inch steel plate featuring a 4-inch diameter centered hole and beam web stiffeners on each side. An embed plate measuring 3/8-inch by 24-inch by 12 inches with six 3/4-inch diameter by 5-inch heavy stud anchors secures the assembly at the beam level. Continuous horizontal wall reinforcing matches two continuous bars at the deck bearing. The metal roof deck is supported by a continuous 3x3x1/4-inch angle perpendicular to the deck flutes, with joist bridging provided per the joist supplier. Additional 3/8-inch by 8-inch by 4-inch embed plates with two 3/4-inch diameter by 5-inch heavy stud anchors spaced at 32 inches on center tie the top of the masonry wall.
