Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Construction of dwarf walls 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 an inability to resist expected
gravity loads, which could lead to the excessive deflection or buckling failure
of dwarf walls. 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.
