9.23.3.3.(1) | Application | Intent |

Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Nailing of lumber, 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 capacity, rigidity
or withdrawal resistance, which could lead to premature failure of nailed
joints, which could lead to compromised strength of wood members, which could
lead to an inability to resist expected vertical or lateral loads, which could
lead to fastened elements detaching from supporting members. 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.
