Bolt connection for Continuous Transverse Beam resting on Pile (with Moment release at Pile top)

Question

Hi, 
 Please find attached image and STAAD file. Longitudinal beam is also continuous and sit on top of Transverse Beam. Transverse Beam is also continuos and sits on column/pile. I released the moment at Pile top. 
 For this case, please kindly help me for following: 
 1. For connection between Transverse beam and pile, what kind of forces have to be considered. Obviously, shear and tension, what about the moment. How to extract moment for this connection design? 
 2. Any rough sketch for the connection mentioned in 1 will be much appreciated. 
 3. Also how should be the connection between longitudinal beam and transverse beam, as LB sits on top of TB. 
 ALL BEAMS and Piles are H-sections. 
 4. Is my model correct as I do not apply any offsets to reflect beams siting on top of each other. 
 
 Regards,

Sorry you did not get a reply earlier. You might want the connection to be for moment, but it's really up to you. Perhaps a deflection check would help you make that decision. I think a rigid moment connection would be complicated.
