Diagram sketch of a structure showing Leca blocks replacing a wooden load-bearing wall and question about connection to floor joist above.

Currently renovating the basement after water damage and have now come to replacing a load-bearing wooden wall with a wall made of Leca blocks.

The question is how do I create a firm connection to the ceiling of the upper floor, how do I finish against the floor structure?
 
First a sill strip or a piece of roofing felt. Then a wooden wall plate if it fits. Support underneath with pieces of wood or hardboard until you reach the appropriate height. Lift slightly with a crowbar when placing underneath.

I had crafted a mold on top of the leca wall. Lifted the floor joist a bit with a prop and then cast with some fine concrete....
