robdyck Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 52 minutes ago, Hammer7 said: is there an industry standard for bearing conditions For I-joists? Yes. Every I-joist supplier shows a typical bearing condition for I-joists on top of the foundation wall. If you're looking for an industry standard for a foundation condition where the top of the foundation is corbeled, there may be an IRC code reference. There is a code reference for this in the NBC, and what you have drawn would not comply (structural / energy efficiency). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Perhaps someone more familiar with your regional codes can chime in but this would seem at least somewhat relevant: R404.1.5.2 Concrete wall thickness. The thickness of concrete foundation walls shall be equal to or greater than the thickness of the wall in the story above. Concrete foundation walls with corbels, brackets or other projections built into the wall for support of masonry veneer or other purposes are not within the scope of the tables in this section. Where a concrete foundation wall is reduced in thickness to provide a shelf for the support of masonry veneer, the reduced thickness shall be equal to or greater than the thickness of the wall in the story above. Vertical reinforcement for the foundation wall shall be based on Table R404.1.2(8) and located in the wall as required by Section R404.1.3.3.7.2 where that table is used. Vertical reinforcement shall be based on the thickness of the thinner portion of the wall. Exception: Where the height of the reduced thickness portion measured to the underside of the floor assembly or sill plate above is less than or equal to 24 inches (610 mm) and the reduction in thickness does not exceed 4 inches (102 mm), the vertical reinforcement is permitted to be based on the thicker portion of the wall.

joey_martin Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 In the IRC look in section R502. For the I-joists look in the manufacturers literature for the end bearing requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
