Wooden floor truss and foundation wall assembly

Abstract

A wooden floor truss/foundation wall combination is not made entirely from all-weather wood. In one embodiment, opposed end studs of untreated lumber rest upon treated lumber resting upon a footing just inside and near the bottom of the concrete foundation stem wall. In another embodiment, the end stud bottoms rest in a pocket depression in the footing lined with an environmental barrier to protect the stud bottom from dampness in the concrete footing. In another embodiment, an elongated floor joist member extends to the foundation wall to rest on a pad on the wall or in a pocket depression in the wall that is lined with an environmental barrier, or to hang on a joist hanger connected to the wall, and frame webbing extends down from the floor joist member to an environmentally-lined corner between the top of the footing and the bottom of the inside foundation wall.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A wooden floor truss and foundation wall assembly, comprising: 
 a foundation footing supporting a foundation wall, said footing having an inside ledge;    a piece of treated lumber supported and laying horizontally on said inside ledge of said foundation footing;    a vertical end stud of untreated lumber, the bottom of which rests on said piece of treated lumber, said end stud extending vertically a distance away from the inside of said foundation wall; and    an elongated horizontal floor joist member connected to the top of said vertical end stud.    
     
     
         2 . A wooden floor truss and foundation wall assembly, comprising; 
 a foundation footing supporting a foundation wall, said footing having an inside ledge;    a depression in said inside ledge for receiving an environmental barrier;    a vertical end stud of untreated lumber, the bottom of which rests within said environmental barrier in said depression in the inside ledge, said end stud extending vertically a distance away from the inside of said foundation wall; and,    an elongated horizontal floor joist member connected to the top of said vertical end stud.    
     
     
         3 . A wooden floor truss and foundation wall assembly, comprising: 
 a foundation footing supporting a foundation wall, said footing having an inside ledge;    a piece of treated lumber supported on said inside ledge of said foundation footing, said piece of treated lumber creating a corner of treated lumber on said inside ledge;    a frame webbing member extending from its bottom at an angle up from said corner on said inside ledge; and    an elongated horizontal floor joist member connected to the top of said frame webbing member.
