Can anyone explain to me why the newer codes (IBC in particular) completely neglect the design of the connection of the top of the basement wall to the floor framing system in order to prevent the wall from pushing inward at the top. In Michigan (where I live), everyone uses the 1/2" anchor bolt...
Does anyone know where I can get some plastis gauges that are glue to a concrete wall over an existing crack in order to detect future movement. I know I've seen them beofre, but Google is letting me down on this one.
