Objective | OS2 Structural Safety |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Minimum depth of concrete in portions of walls over
openings in non-loadbearing flat insulating concrete
form 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

limit states.

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of an insufficient depth of concrete
across the width of openings to provide adequate flexural and shear capacity,
and cover and bond for reinforcing steel, 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 compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
