Continuity, over supports, of individual members of built-up lumber beams that incorporate joints at quarter points [see Sentence 9.23.8.3.(3)], 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 discontinuity over supports, 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 structural collapse, which could lead to harm to persons.
