| Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Masonry piers with anchor bolts installed in their
tops, in buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9]:
Exceptions:
except as stated in Sentence 9.20.1.1.(2), which applies to buildings other than described above, or where the masonry
is designed for specified loads on the basis of ultimate and serviceability
limit states.

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of insufficient depth of concrete
or masonry for an adequate bond with anchor bolts, which could lead to inadequate
withdrawal resistance, which could lead to an inability to resist expected
wind loads, which could lead to overturning, lifting, sliding or excessive
deflection of the superstructure. Where building elements
are required to provide fire resistance, this is to limit the probability
of excessive deflection of the elements, which could lead to compromised fire
resistance, which could lead to harm to persons.
Intent 2: To direct Code users to Sentence 9.15.2.3.(4), which
contains requirements for piers. |
