Different Ways To Frame A Window - Home Construction And Framing

Floor framing consists of columns or posts, beams, sill plates, joists, and subfloor. Assembled on a foundation, they create  a level anchored platform for the rest of the house and a strong diaphragm to keep the lateral earth pressure from pushing in the top of the foundation wall.The columns or posts and beams of wood or steel that support the joists over a basement are sometimes replaced by frame or masonry walls when the basement location is divided into rooms. Floors of the second story are generally supported on load-bearing walls in the first story. Wood-frame homes may also be constructed over a crawl space with floor framing similar to that used over a basement or on a concrete slab as you can see in the part on foundations.
