9.23.14.4.(2) | Application | Intent |
| OS3 | OP2 | OH4 |
| Objective | OP2 Structural Sufficiency of the Building |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Orientation and alignment of OSB qualifying as construction
sheathing, O-1 and O-2 grade OSB, and R-1 grade waferboard used as subflooring,
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 inappropriate orientation or
alignment of joints in OSB and waferboard subflooring, which could lead to
insufficient strength between joists, which could lead to an inability to
resist expected gravity loads, which could lead to excessive deflection, which
could lead to the space being unsuitable for its intended use.
