OS2 | OP2 | OH1 | OH4 | OS1 | OS3 |
Objective | OS2 Structural Safety |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Restraint against twisting of the bottom edge of lumber
floor joists, where they are supported, 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 lateral restraint,
which could lead to twisting due to shrinkage or expected gravity and lateral
loads, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity and lateral
loads, which could lead to the excessive movement, deformation or failure
of floor assemblies. This is to limit the probability
of compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
