| Application | Application 1: Minimum dimensions, material, and fastening of ties
for top wall plates that are not lapped at corners and intersections and of
ties for joints in single plates, in loadbearing wood-frame
walls to which Section 9.23. applies [see Sentence 9.23.1.1.(1) for

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of inadequate continuity of joints
in single 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. This is to limit the probability of compromised
structural integrity, which could lead to:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
