9.23.9.8.(5) | Application | Intent |
| OS2 | OP2 | OH1 | OH4 | OS1 | OS3 |
| Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Location of interior loadbearing walls
perpendicular to supporting floor joists, in wood-frame constructions to which Section 9.23. applies [see Sentence 9.23.1.1.(1) for application
of Section 9.23.]. |
| Top of Page | |
| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of excessive offset from underlying
supports, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity loads,
which could lead to bending failure of floor joists. 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.
