Intent 1:
To limit the probability of installing interior
finishes of inadequate strength or rigidity, which could lead to an
inability to resist expected impact, gravity or lateral loads.
This is to limit the probability of the deformation or detachment
of interior finishes, which could lead to:
- falling of finishes,
- where interior finishes contribute to the required bracing
or lateral support for studs, the buckling or racking of walls, which
could lead to structural failure, or
- where interior finishes support or serve as required
environmental separation elements, the excessive deformation, displacement
or failure of such elements, which could lead to deterioration, which
could lead to further compromised structural integrity.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
