Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of the inadequate construction
of frames for openings, which could lead to inadequate strength, which could
lead to premature distortion of walls under fire conditions, which could lead
to compromised integrity of closures, which could lead to the passage of smoke
and flame, which could lead to harm to persons. |
