double tee/ wall connection detail
howdy,
every detail i've ever seen with a steel angle and expansion bolts at a wall top, have the bolts set or drilled into a bond beam.  how else could to hold them in place and accept the load from the precast?
i also think you will find that building codes have lateral stability requirements for masonry walls that relate the wall thickness to the wall height and require either vertical core filling or a bond beam.
if you're in zone 2 or higher, you are required to have bond beams "continuously at structurally connected roof and floor levels..."  see ubc 2106.1.12.3.
