Does building code allow latter transfer of ceiling load in floor joists? If a ceiling joist breaks on a wall, making it interior load bearing wall, but the ceiling weight is all that the wall is holding does it need direct support under it, per building code? Or can the support be a few feet over. Searched upcoddes and iccsafe and could not find an answer.
