About this detail

A masonry wall is offset from a steel beam using an angle and bent plate assembly. A bond beam tops the concrete masonry unit wall, supporting an L4x3x5/16-inch by 1-foot-0-inch angle or similar bent plate at each end. A quarter-inch by 1-foot-3-inch plate connects to the beam with three-sixteenth-inch fillet welds on both sides, with an alternative continuous bent plate available at the contractor's option. A typical top-of-wall gap is maintained, and clearances include a minimum two-inch dimension and a half-inch offset. The angle is welded to the plate at each end with three-sixteenth-inch fillet welds, and a diagonal brace extends to the underside of the concrete on a steel deck.
