9.23.2.2.(1) | Application | Intent |
OS2 | OP2 | OH1 | OS1 | OH4 | OS3 |
Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Decay prevention for ends of wood joists, beams, columns
and other members framed into masonry or concrete at or below the surface
of the ground, in wood-frame constructions to which Section 9.23. applies
[see Sentence 9.23.1.1.(1) for application of Section 9.23.].

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of inadequate moisture resistance
or inadequate provision for drying, which could lead to extended exposure
to surface water or to water from the ground transferred through masonry or
concrete, which could lead to wood decay, which could lead to an inability
to resist expected gravity or lateral loads, which could lead to excessive
movement, deflection or deformation. Where assemblies
are 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.
