| Application | Application 1: Minimum number of top wall plates in loadbearing stud
walls where the studs are not more than 50 mm to one side of
the supported framing above and in non-loadbearing stud
walls, 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 capacity to transfer
loads from supported floor and roof framing members in construction where
supported loads are transferred directly to the studs or where the supported
load is limited, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity
and lateral loads, which could lead to:
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.
