For this type of construction, I usually use a cast in place concrete beam to support the planks and to tie into the columns. Your 1:12 slope is very minimal and I would not be concerned with the slope.
Good luck Jim!

Daniel: Check out a document from the Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) at the first link below that addresses precast members and connections in general. This publication highlights key references and resources in tan boxes throughout the text.
PCI has a great deal of guidance, references, analysis and design data available for free download. Go to the second link below and search with keywords you think are appropriate.
