| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Type, spacing and minimum size of continuous horizontal
wire reinforcement in unit masonry foundation walls
made of concrete block that are required to be reinforced, are subject to
lateral earth pressure, and are erected on average stable soils having
an allowable bearing pressure of 75 kPa or greater, where the
wind loads on the exposed portion of the foundation do
not exceed 0.7 kPa, for buildings of
wood-frame or masonry construction to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9].
Exceptions:

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the amount and spacing of
horizontal reinforcement will not be adequate to ensure nominal ductility,
which could lead to the cracking or displacement of foundation walls.
This is to limit the probability of compromised structural integrity,
which could lead to:
