Taken from the 2020 Florida Building Code, Section 2318.1.3.3:
Stud walls framing into base plates of exterior walls and interior bearing walls resting on masonry or concrete shall be anchored past the plate to the masonry or concrete, or shall be anchored to a sill plate which is anchored in accordance with Section 2318.1.4.1 when the net wind uplift is up to 500 pounds per foot (7297 N/m).
Does anyone know what is intended by "stud walls framing into base plates"?
For wood framed exterior walls, I typically see studs that attached to a sill plate which are connected to the foundation. How does one attach a line of studs to a base plate?
