Intent 1:
To limit the probability that the inappropriate
placement of grout will lead to the inadequate performance or premature
failure of concrete block foundation walls under expected environmental
or structural loads.
This is to limit the probability
of compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:
- the structural failure of masonry construction,
- where masonry construction is part of an environmental
separator, the excessive deformation, displacement or failure of required
environmental separation elements, which could lead to the deterioration
of building elements, or
- in assemblies exposed to moisture or the exterior, damage
and deterioration, which could lead to further compromised structural
integrity.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
