Intent 1:
To limit the probability of:
- inadequate fastening of or damage to the interior finish,
or
- inadequate protection of the insulation, air barrier
system or vapour barrier, which could lead to condensation.
Where the interior finish contributes
to the required bracing, this is to limit the probability of:
- inadequate performance of the interior finish, which
could lead to an inability to resist expected lateral loads, which
could lead to excessive racking, or
- the excessive deformation, displacement or failure of
required environmental separation elements, which could lead to deterioration,
which could lead to compromised structural integrity.
This is to limit the probability of excessive movement,
vibration or deflection, which could lead to negative effects on the
psychological well-being of persons.
