| Application | Application 1: Minimum dimensions, orientation and fastening of wood
lintels in loadbearing, 38 mm by 64
mm 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 insufficiently thick lintel
members or of inadequate fastening of double-member lintels, which could lead
to inadequate load distribution, which could lead to an inability to resist
expected gravity and lateral loads. 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.
