Intent 1:
To limit the probability of an inability to resist
expected gravity loads, which could lead to the excessive deflection
or buckling failure of dwarf walls.
This is to
limit the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could
lead to:
- the structural collapse of wood-frame construction,
- where roof and ceiling framing members support required
elements of environmental separators, the excessive deformation, displacement
or failure of these elements, which could lead to deterioration, which
could lead to further compromised structural integrity of roofs or
environmental separators, or
- where roof and ceiling framing members support assemblies
exposed to the exterior, excessive water ingress, which could lead
to deterioration.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
