Objective | OP2 Structural Sufficiency of the Building |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Minimum dimensions and installation of struts acting
as intermediate support for lumber roof joists and rafters, 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 that struts will be unable to
transfer compressive roof loads to loadbearing walls, which could lead to
inadequate intermediate support for rafters or roof joists. This
is to limit the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could
lead to:
This is to limit the probability of damage to the building.
