Ledger board
Ledger board
(OP)
I am designing some floor joists that will be perpendicular and adjacent to a concrete retaining wall. The joist can be top flange mounted to a sill plate ontop the retaining wall. Question: Is there a code which tells me that I would have to use a ledger board between the joist ends and the retaining wall? (is it 1 inch min?).






RE: Ledger board
I ran into this type of situation for a residential project and working with a contractor who asked for a practical solution we came up with a ledger bolted to the concrete wall, say @ 4'-0" o.c. ,(also perpendicular to the floor joists) and then your joists can be either nailed or secured with joist hangers to the ledger.
Hope it helps to come to a solution to your particular issue.
