mtldesigns Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Looking for guidance here on the subject at hand. I've done metal "stick" framed builds before, where I use R804 as my go-by. But in this case, I have a CMU exterior wall that I need to bring these truss and rafters too. Do you embed a plate on the top course, or bolt down a track to that top course (open end down) then proceed as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACADuser Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 We use truss on top of the block with Simpson META16 usually. HETA16 for higher loads & 2 each for girders. The trusses come with a pre attached galvanized strip so the wood does not bear on the concrete. https://ssttoolbox.widen.net/view/pdf/s0ldjoogcb/C-C-2024_p264-265.pdf?t.download=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 BTW if the installers missed the location use MSTM16 for the repair https://ssttoolbox.widen.net/view/pdf/fzhlnoduhz/C-C-2024_p267.pdf?t.download=true More options: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is the same concept as you shown. On 9/20/2024 at 6:43 PM, JiAngelo said: Check out section 604 I did.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
