Objective | OS2 Structural Safety |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Maximum thickness, weight, location of installation
and minimum compressive strength of concrete topping supported by lumber floor
joists selected from Table A-2., in residential applications
or where the live load on any floor does not exceed 1.9
kPa, 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 joist strength or
inadequate composite strength and stiffness to support the additional weight
of a concrete topping, which could lead to excessive deflection or failure.
This is to limit the probability of compromised structural integrity,
which could lead to:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
