Intent 1:
To limit the probability of inadequate support for
gypsum board, which could lead to an inability to resist expected
impact, gravity or lateral 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,
- compromised operation of doors or windows, or
- damage to the building.
