support floors, in wood-frame constructions to which Section 9.23. applies

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of inadequate joint support, which
could lead to inadequate bending strength at butt joints between pieces of
lumber, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity loads,
which could lead to failure of the beam, which could lead to structural collapse,
which could lead to harm to persons. |
