Increased capacity can be achieved with bearing plate below beam and/or bearing beam on full thickness of wall.
Connection is capable of transferring out-of-plane loads between wall panel and beam where no diaphragm is provided.
Steel beam depth to be great enough for screw installation. Consider alternate attachment where required.
Addition of bearing plate may aid in fastener installation.
