[BS] A304.1.4 Floor Joists Parallel to Foundations

2015 Michigan Rehabilitation Code > A3 Prescriptive Provisions for Seismic Strengthening of Cripple Walls and Sill Plate Anchorage of Light, Wood-Frame Residential Buildings > A304 Strengthening Requirements > A304.1 General > A304.1.4 Floor Joists Parallel to Foundations
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Where existing floor joists are parallel to the perimeter foundations, the end joist shall be located over the foundation and, except for required ventilation openings, shall be continuous and in continuous contact with the foundation sill plate or the top plate of the cripple wall. Existing connections at the top and bottom edges of the end joist need not be verified in one-story buildings. In multistory buildings, the existing top edge connection of the end joist need not be verified; however, the bottom edge connection to either the foundation sill plate or the top plate of a cripple wall shall be verified. The minimum bottom edge connection shall be 8d toenails spaced 6 inches (152 mm) apart. If this minimum bottom edge connection is not present or cannot be verified, a supplemental connection installed as shown in Figure A3-8B, A3-8C or A3-9 shall be provided.
For SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 pound = 4.4 N.
NOTE: See manufacturing instructions for nail sizes associated with metal framing clips.
