It had nothing other than the joist hangers at the building connection - nothing to prevent upward thrust.
Joist hangers will resist some dgeree of upward thrust. I believe that value is given in joist hanger manufacturers' literature. However, the number is small compared to the downward load-bearing ability. This also assumes that the hanger is nailed exactly according to the hanger manufacturer"s recommendations.
