Intent 1:
To limit the probability that an inappropriate type
of mortar will be used in a given situation, which could lead to deterioration
or cracking of mortar.
This is to limit the probability
of:
- compromised structural integrity of masonry construction,
- where masonry construction is part of an environmental
separator, the displacement or failure of required environmental separation
elements, which could lead to deterioration,
- in assemblies exposed to moisture or the exterior, damage
and deterioration, or
- an inability to resist expected loads, which could lead
to excessive deflection or vibration of floors.
For floors and elements supporting floors, this is to limit
the probability of persons losing their balance, tripping or falling,
which could lead to harm to persons.
