| 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 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. 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.
