A 2x12 floor joist system is installed in a garage.
The joists are bearing on the garage side exterior wall on one end, and the interior entry wall on the other end.
The joists are resting on the top plate, generally without attachment/solid blocking.
Tply is used as exterior sheathing.
I was rereading R502.7, and realized I may have been overlooking something for a while now.
I understand the "solid blocking, header/band/rim joist portion"...
Now,
"or shall be otherwise provided with lateral support to prevent rotation"
What are some ways you see this achieved?
I have always thought the subfloor acheived this, but rereading the section I need some help from y'all-
Let the knowledge flow...
Thanks
