[F20-OS1.2]Applies to assemblies required to provide fire resistance.

Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of an inadequate distribution of roof or floor loads, which could lead to over-stressing of hollow masonry units, which could lead to cracking.

Where masonry construction is 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.
