| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of ties of inadequate strength,
which could lead to ties or rafter-to-joist connections being unable to resist
the tension forces imposed by expected gravity and lateral loads, which could
lead to the lower end of rafters or joists moving outward, which could lead
to:
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.
