Application | Application 1: Minimum distance from interior or exterior corners
of any openings in non-loadbearing flat insulating
concrete form exterior walls not in contact with the ground, in buildings to
which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application
of Part 9], where:
Exceptions:
except as stated in Sentence 9.20.1.1.(2), which applies to

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of an insufficient area of wall
between openings and corners, which could lead to an inadequate distribution
of stress concentration in areas that typically experience higher levels of
lateral stress (e.g. around openings), which could lead to an inability to
resist transverse or vertical loads, which could lead to concrete cracking
or the displacement of walls. This is to limit the probability
of:
This is to limit the probability of:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
