9.28.5.3.(1)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of incomplete coverage of aggregate with cement paste, which could lead to stucco being of inadequate strength to resist gravity, lateral, impact or abrasion loads, or freeze-thaw stresses, which could lead to cracking.

This is to limit the probability of:

• precipitation or meltwater ingress, which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to the structural failure of exterior walls or elements protected by exterior walls, or
• stucco detaching and falling from the building.

This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
