Application | Application 1: Minimum dimensions, location and fastening of strapping
for lumber floor joists used to support floors in residential applications
or where the floor live load does not exceed 1.9

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of inadequate dimensions, proximity
to supports or fastening, which could lead to inadequate restraint of the
bottoms of joists, which could lead to excessive twisting of joists, 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.
Where assemblies are required to provide fire resistance, this is
to limit the probability of compromised fire resistance of the assembly, which
could lead to harm to persons.
