Objective

OH4 Vibration and Deflection Limitation

Attribution

[F80-OH4]Applies to floors and elements that support floors.

Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of wood decay.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • compromised structural integrity, or
  • where the cribbing or retaining walls support 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:

  • the excessive deformation of walls, ceilings and roofs, and
  • the deflection or vibration of floors.

This is to limit the probability of negative effects on the psychological well-being of persons.
