| Application | Application 1: Fastening of lumber exterior-wall framing to lumber
floor framing, in wood-frame constructions to which Section 9.23. applies
[see Sentence 9.23.1.1.(1) for application of Section 9.23.],
where the sole plate is not fastened to the floor joists or blocking with
nails at least 82 mm long spaced not more than 400 mm o.c.

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of inadequate fastening or an excessive
rate of deterioration of fasteners, which could lead to an inability to resist
expected wind loads, which could lead to the separation of exterior walls
or wall elements from floors, which could lead to overturning, lifting or
sliding of exterior walls. 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.
Intent 2: To exempt situations from the application of Sentence 9.23.3.4.(1) where
another means of fastening the wall framing to the floor framing is provided.
