R404.1.3.2.2


Section R404.1.3.2.2 is titled 'Concrete foundation stem walls supporting light-frame above-grade walls' and covers requirements for foundation construction. The requirement to design and construct concrete foundation stem walls supporting above-grade light-frame walls in accordance with cross-referenced sections and tables, dependent on whether or not they have lateral support at the top is established. The purpose of this section is to prevent structural failure.

The model shows two examples of foundation stem walls supporting above-grade light-frame walls - one is laterally supported at the top, the other is not.
