| Application | Application 1: Staggering of joists at quarter points [see Sentence 9.23.8.3.(3)] and effective width of built-up lumber beams, 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 coinciding joints, 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. |
