9.28.6.5.(3)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of the dislodgement of stones from the stucco surface, which could lead to an inadequate resistance to abrasion or freeze-thaw stresses, which could lead to delamination.

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.
