Floor Framing Blocking at 4' o.c. for 4' for joists parallel to wall? WHY?
I see this requirement on a previous plan check for a 3 story wood structure. AND i see it in this 3 story example courtesy of FEMA. But i cant figure out why. the horiz diaphragm doesnt seem to need it due to high loads in the fema example (see the entire example ) , so what is it for? what is the code? attached is pic.
