Hence the need for solid blocking.

R502.7 Lateral restraint at supports.

Do those joists have a 3" overlap? [ Section R802.3.2, `06 IRC ]?

Excellent point because the front of the foundation for the basement is backfilled and the back is a walk out with no backfill so what is going to keep the joists from pushing in in the front?north star said:
The basement wall must be built as a retaining wall.jar546 said:
No matter what the joist spacing may be, solid blocking is required between the joist.

Hmmmmm. I wonder if the language of the code or the foundation section covers that in the charts for unbalanced backfill or does the unbalanced backfill charts assume equality on all sides of the foundation?????? Maybe we are thinking too much.ICE said:
I don't know about the charts you are talking about. We don't have basements. The closest I come to what you are talking about is cutting into a hillside and that requires an engineered retaining wall.
