9.24.3.2.(2) | Application | Intent |
| OS1 |
| Objective | OS1 Fire Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Attachment of steel studs that allows for their expansion,
in non-loadbearing exterior and interior walls
required to have a fire-resistance rating, in buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9].
Exceptions:
except as stated in Article 9.24.3.6., which applies to
attachments between studs and bottom runners only, by means of screws, crimping
or welding around wall openings and elsewhere where necessary to keep the
studs in alignment during construction.

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the connection of studs to
top and bottom runners will be rigid, which could hinder the linear expansion
of steel studs during a fire, which could lead to the buckling of studs, which
could lead to the premature failure of fire-rated assemblies, which could
lead to harm to persons. |
