| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of discontinuous reinforcement,
which could lead to an inadequate resistance to lateral loads or gravity loads
imposed by the glass block's own weight, which could lead to cracking at vertically
aligned mortar joints. Where masonry construction is required
to provide fire resistance, this is to limit the probability of compromised
fire resistance of the assembly, which could lead to harm to persons.
