Design Notes

Capacity of connection is dependent on perpendicular-to-grain capacity of the beam.
Screws provide load path for in-plane and out-of-plane loads.
Clip can be used to connect beam to top of wall panel. Clip can be custom fabricated or proprietary. Inclusion of clip changes connection class, increases cost and makes fire rating difficult. Potential suppliers include Simpson Strong-Tie and Rothoblaas.
Deck not shown for clarity. Beam may require bracing for lateral-torsional buckling.

Class: Class 1
Load: Load High
Cost: Cost $
Const.: Constructability Moderate
Fire: Fire Rating II
