Intent 1:
To limit the probability of inadequate support for
gypsum board, which could lead to an inability to resist expected
gravity loads.
This is to limit the probability
of the deformation or detachment of interior finishes, which could
lead to:
- falling finishes, or
- where interior finishes support or serve as required
environmental separation elements, the excessive deformation, displacement
or failure of such elements, which could lead to deterioration, which
could lead to further compromised structural integrity.
This is to limit the probability of:
- the space being unsuitable for its intended use, or
- damage to the building.
