I'm reviewing a one-story house with a basement. I've used Section R404 and Table R404.1.2(8) to check footing and wall reinforcement. However, I have a "feeling" that there may be some additional anchor bolt and floor blocking requirements somewhere in the code for the floor diaphragm. I've started into Section R611, viewing the basement wall as an exterior wall but the more I get into it the less it seems to apply to a basement wall. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Benny
