Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Maximum spans, in wood-frame constructions to which Section 9.23. applies [see Sentence 9.23.1.1.(1) for application
of Section 9.23.], for steel beams with laterally supported

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of excessively long spans, which
could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity loads, which could lead
to excessive deflection or failure. For floors and constructions
supporting floors, this is to limit the probability of:
This is to limit the probability of excessive movement, vibration
or deflection of floors, which could lead to negative effects on the psychological
well-being of persons.
