With 'regs' like these, the specs they are saying are massively over engineered (for want of a better phrase).
You could cut a joist all the way through in the middle of a floor, with all the boards nailed down, it wouldn't collapse!
My house, 1910ish, joists have holes and notches all over the place, strangely enough I haven't fallen through the floor yet.
