| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of inadequate clearance, which
could lead to an inability to accommodate dimensional changes due to variations
in moisture content, which could lead to jamming of sheet edges, which could
lead to buckling of cladding. For exterior floors or environmental
separators supporting such floors, 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 vibration or deflection,
which could lead to persons losing their balance, tripping or falling, which
could lead to harm to persons.
