9.23.16.4.(2) | Application | Intent |

Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Staggered end joints for diagonally-applied lumber
wall sheathing used to provide bracing, 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 discontinuity in the sheathing,
which could lead to an inability to resist expected lateral or gravity loads,
which could lead to the excessive movement, deformation or failure of exterior
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.
