Application | Application 1: Minimum dimensions, type and location of bridging
for lumber floor joists used to support floors in residential applications
or where the live load on the floor does not exceed 1.9
kPa, where the vibration-controlled span is selected from Table A-2.,
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 inadequate restraint of the
bottoms of floor joists, which could lead to the excessive twisting of joists,
which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity and lateral loads,
which could lead to the excessive movement, deformation or failure of floor
assemblies. This is to limit the probability of compromised
structural integrity, which could lead to:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
