Intent 1:
To limit the probability of:
- stresses on stucco due to shrinkage of the masonry substrate
during curing, or
- the inadequate bonding of stucco due to the excessively
high moisture content of masonry.
This is to limit the probability of
the delamination or cracking of stucco, which could lead to:
- precipitation or meltwater ingress, which could lead
to deterioration, which could lead to the structural failure of exterior
walls or elements protected by exterior walls, or
- stucco detaching and falling from the building.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
