Intent 1:
To limit the probability of inadequately anchored
runners, which could lead to an inability to resist expected lateral
and gravity loads, which could lead to:
- misaligned top and bottom ends of studs, or
- the displacement of studs.
This is to limit the probability of
the excessive movement or deformation of walls, which could lead to:
- the structural failure of walls, or
- for exterior walls, the excessive deformation, displacement
or failure of required environmental separation elements, which could
lead to deterioration.
This is to limit the probability of:
- the space being unsuitable for its intended use,
- compromised operation of windows and doors, or
- damage to the building.
