9.23.16.4.(2) | Application | Intent |
OS2 | OP2 | OH1 | OS1 | OS3 | OH4 |
Objective | OH4 Vibration and Deflection Limitation |
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. For exterior floors or environmental separators
supporting a floor, this is to limit the probability of the excessive deformation,
displacement or failure of required environmental separation elements, which
could lead to deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural integrity,
which could lead to excessive movement, vibration or deflection, which could
lead to negative effects on the psychological well-being of persons.
