Intent 1:
To limit the probability of:
- drying before hydration is complete (or inadequate curing),
- the inadequate embedment of lath, which could lead to
the corrosion of lath, or
- the excessive shrinkage of stucco under gravity or lateral
loads, which could lead to cracking.
This is to limit the probability of
an inadequate bond between lath and stucco, and the inadequate strength
of stucco, which could lead to:
- excessive moisture transfer by capillary action, or
- inadequate strength to resist gravity, lateral, impact
or abrasion loads, or freeze-thaw stresses.
This is to limit the probability of:
- precipitation or meltwater ingress, or
- compromised thermal performance of components intended
to provide resistance to heat transfer.
This is to limit the probability of:
- an inadequate control of temperatures of interior spaces
or relative humidity,
- the generation of pollutants from biological growth
or from materials that become unstable on wetting, or
- deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity
of exterior walls or elements protected by exterior walls.
This is to limit the probability of:
- negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces,
- the inadequate thermal comfort of persons, and
- contact with moisture.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
