Celebrating 19 yrs of marriage with toilet repair, a 3 mile run(together), soccer practice and enduring relentless, eye watering dog farts. Fun times.

top and bottom chords are 2x4s
Although 2x4s are (technically) dimensional lumber, no one would ever confuse them for capital-D Dimensional capital-L Lumber, i.e. Anything you'd use for a floor joist
which means this floor is not framed from 2x4s "on flat" as Nola hastily assumed. Rather it is a floor with truss-joist framing. Which trusses just so happen to be made from 2x4s.
Which is very different
you can't frame a floor of any significant span with 2x4 dimensional lumber
but you can sure as hell span a decent distance with a truss comprising 2x4s
(ex-architect with a concentration in structural engineering)
I'm just saying it's the first time I've seen that configuration in particular. I've seen it with the 2x4s 90 degrees oriented from the picture. I understand it's easier to nail the diagonals as shown in the picture, just not as strong as it's covered on both sides by flooring and ceiling.
We might be saying the same thing as I'm not 100% sure I understand what you wrote. Sorry if that is the case. Prolly is.
floor truss is not appreciably deep
roof truss? It makes little difference to turn the top and bottom chords on flat.
But wtf do i know. Thanks for discovering it for yourself instead of listening to me when i tried to explain it. three times
i won't argue chemistry with you. Don't argue structure with me. Deal?
lateral stability has nothing to do with it by the way. Roof trusses by themselves have no lateral stability. Toof sheathing does that, plus some lateral stuff at the panel points below.
For floor joists, similar (plywood subfloor).
You ou typically don't count on trusses for any lateral stability

I concede it doesn't make any practical difference. I just try to think things through by extrapolating with as many variables (via asymptote for example) I can think of and maybe visualizing it made of cardboard. I did note the lack of lateral stability though.

Currently trying to understand people. I put a bumper cover on a lady's car. I had it in the shop for 2 days and drove it the length of the shop. It has 170,000 miles on it. But I'M the one that curbed all four of her hub caps.Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

Edit @Jeremiah
I know people like this, they rationalize as people vs company, so no harm if they just push for something free. I've made the mistake of referring them to businesses where I know the owner or manager, etc. That's uncomfortable.Love you bro! -

It gets very frustrating. Both the headache of trying
to take enough photos and dealing with the dumbasses that want everything for free. Sorry midday rant. I need a beer.Slumming it in Aiken, SC. -
