About this detail

A structural connection links a steel joist bearing on a masonry wall at the roof level. A continuous 3/8-inch by 8-inch by 0-foot-4-inch embed plate with two 3/4-inch diameter by 5-inch headed stud anchors spaced at 32 inches on center is set into the masonry wall. For joists running parallel to the deck flutes, a continuous L5x3x1/4 angle supports the deck bearing, accompanied by one continuous reinforcing bar matching the horizontal wall reinforcing. For conditions between joists or perpendicular to deck flutes, a continuous L3x3x1/4 angle provides deck bridging and bearing. A bearing plate detailed elsewhere connects the steel joist to the masonry support, welded with specified fillet welds ranging from 1/8-inch to 3/16-inch depending on the joist designation.
