 9.15.4.3. Foundation Walls Considered to be Laterally Supported at the Top


Exterior foundation walls are considered #laterally supported at the top if: 

  • they support solid #masonry construction, 
  • #joists are embedded in the top of the #foundation wall, or 
  • a #floor system is anchored to the top of the foundation wall. 

These conditions are illustrated in Figure 9.15.-13.
