| Application | Application 1: Studs on each side of openings in walls, where the
openings are spanned by a lintel that is more than 3 m long,
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 that studs will not provide adequate
support to lintels or will not have adequate capacity to transfer loads, which
could lead to studs or lintels being unable to resist expected gravity and
lateral loads. Where assemblies are required to provide
fire resistance, this is to limit the probability of compromised fire resistance
of the assembly, which could lead to harm to persons.
