9.23.10.3.(1)

Objective

OS1 Fire Safety

Attribution

[F20,F22-OS1.2]Applies to assemblies required to provide fire resistance.

Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that stud orientation that is inconsistent with the slenderness-ratio assumptions upon which stud size, height and spacing are based will lead to an inability 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.
