9.23.9.9.(2)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of overloading cantilevered floor joists, which could lead to excessive bending moments, which could lead to an inability to resist expected roof loads, which could lead to the excessive movement, deformation or failure of floor or roof assemblies.

This is to limit the probability of:

• compromised structural integrity, or
• for exterior floors or floors supporting an environmental separators, the excessive deformation, displacement or failure of required environmental separation elements, which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to further compromised structural integrity.

This is to limit the probability of excessive movement, vibration or deflection of floors, which could lead to negative effects on the psychological well-being of persons.
