| Application | Application 1: Material, minimum diameter and maximum spacing of
rods for tying transverse wood-frame walls providing lateral support to above-ground
masonry walls, in buildings to which Part 9 applies
[see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9]:

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of:
This is to limit the probability of an inability
to transfer lateral loads from framed walls to intersecting walls, which could
lead to inadequate lateral stiffness, which could lead to an inability to
resist lateral loads or inadequate distribution of gravity loads, which could
lead to cracking or buckling.
This is to limit the probability of compromised structural integrity,
which could lead to:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
