I know I posted pics earlier, but the contractor just posted this on their Facebook page and I thought it was cool.

Typically it's top chord bearing floor trusses (16"-24" in height depending on span) 16" o.c. Sitting on double 2x ledgers. Then you would add 2x blocking at the perimeter between floor trusses and Tapcon those to the masonry.

Tapcon
I would expect it to be cast right in.. epoxied or with expansion shields.
With icf is anchor bolts cast in.. with hangers or (in your case) top chord bearing trusses. I like those things :thumbup:

I'm sure the ledger is bolted on. The blocking would be tapconed - it only would be serving to prevent the floor trusses from twisting or rolling.

Here's some from this week.

Nice shots there:thumbsup: is that Tampa Bay in the background?

Will that building get a soffit around it?

No, it's sarasota bay. It will get a soffit. Upper level trusses create the soffit because the bottom chord runs out. Lower level, we'll have to go back and frame it in. I've seen a lot of guys on here that frame the soffit before they set the trusses, but our truss company is so hit or miss it would be too much of a gamble.

The masons embed j bolts into the tie beams and we set our ledgers to those. The blocking that gets tapcon'd is just pressure blocking that also gives us a perimeter for sheathing diaphragm nailing.

Some SE's do away with the ledgers and have us use hangers. That's a lot of drilling and I usually try to encourage the contractor to have them switch it to ledgers.

posting this here since we're framers and we framed the archway and coffered ceiling before trimming it all out.

Your framing /trim looks great...... glad you're not the color designer..:thumbup:

Best







(Yes, I realize and respect everyone has their own taste.)

I put one of those as a ridge on a guest cottage. No fun at all.

I'm sure you can explain this. But why?

I'll guess another beam gets dropped in the top

 

[Calidecks]

I now see the beam pocket above. Thanks for the clarification

That's such a ridiculously handsome stud column.

 

[Golden view]

Actually looking at it I could have gotten rid of one or two cripple studs above the header on the left and just kept the one for layout. Plate said JJKKBBBBKKX. All 2x8. The blocking it the 8' mark on the 16' wall.

I just found this pic buried and I always liked how this column looked. The owner said, "so much for super-insulated."

No kidding. The structure did end up with 2" EPS on the exterior though.

Here's a home my company framed a couple years back. What sucks is I can't find the finished pictures. I think they are on a scrapped PC

Here's the living room ceiling of this home
