Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Tying of joints in single top plates of 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 discontinuity between top plates,
which could lead to an inability to resist expected lateral loads, which could
lead to the excessive deflection or failure of wall plates. 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.
Intent 2: To provide a cross-reference to Sentence 9.23.11.4.(4) and
thereby further define its application. |
