Objective

OH4 Vibration and Deflection Limitation

Attribution

[F80-OH4]Applies where structural wood elements support or are used in floors.

Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of wood decay.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • compromised structural integrity, or
  • where structural wood elements support or are used in an environmental separator, the displacement or failure of required environmental separation elements, which could lead to the deterioration of building elements, which could lead to compromised structural integrity.

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