Intent 1:
To limit the probability of excessive eccentricity
of loads and instability.
This is to limit the
probability of:
- compromised structural integrity of masonry veneer,
or
- cracking of masonry or mortar, which could lead to excessive
water ingress into or through assemblies, which could lead to the
deterioration of elements protected by the masonry, which could lead
to compromised structural integrity.
This is to limit the probability of damage to the building.
