Application | Application 1: Reduction in maximum spans for lumber beams or in
maximum supported length of floor joists used to support floors with a concrete
topping not more than 51 mm thick, in residential applications
or where the live load on any floor does not exceed 1.9
kPa, 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 excessively long spans of beams
or joists, which could lead to beams being unable to resist the additional
weight of a concrete topping, which could lead to excessive deflection or
failure. Where wood-frame construction supports or is
part of an environmental separator, this is to limit the probability of the
displacement or failure of required environmental separation elements, which
could lead to:
This is to limit the probability of:
This is to limit the probability of:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
