2006 IRC, Table R602.3(1).
Having an arguement with a local contractor. He contends that it is acceptable to toenail 2x10 floor joist into a beam/girder. The floor joist do not set upon the beam but are connected to the face of the beam.
I site TR602.3(1) fastener schedule. This type of connection is not listed and therefore an engineered hanger (joist-hanger, properly sized & nailed) is required.
Thanks for your opinions! The forums are a great source of education.
