Back5.6.1.3.(2)

ATTRIBUTION:

Functional Statement:

F61

To resist the ingress of precipitation, water or moisture from the exterior or from the ground.

Objective:

OH1.1, OH1.2, OH1.3

 

APPLICATION:

Installation of masonry to provide protection against precipitation ingress on vertical assemblies described in Sentence 5.1.2.1.(1) that are installed in buildings to which Part 5 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A for application of Part 5].
This also applies to cladding assemblies installed on buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9] where:
  • the cladding assembly is not addressed in Section 9.27., or
  • the cladding assembly does not comply with the prescriptive requirements of Section 9.27.

INTENT:

To limit the probability that the performance of the installed masonry, with respect to protection against precipitation ingress, will fall significantly below expectations, which could lead to precipitation ingress.
This is to limit the probability of:
  • the inadequate control of relative humidity or water accumulation,
  • the generation of pollutants from biological growth or from materials that become unstable on wetting, or
  • deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity of environmental separators.
This is to limit the probability of:
  • negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces,
  • the inadequate thermal comfort of persons, and
  • contact with moisture.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.

Installation of masonry to provide protection against precipitation ingress on vertical assemblies described in Sentence 5.1.2.1.(1) that are installed in buildings to which Part 5 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A for application of Part 5].
This also applies to cladding assemblies installed on buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9] where:
  • the cladding assembly is not addressed in Section 9.27., or
  • the cladding assembly does not comply with the prescriptive requirements of Section 9.27.

INTENT:

To limit the probability that the performance of the installed masonry, with respect to integrity and protection against precipitation ingress, will fall significantly below expectations, which could lead to precipitation ingress into or through assemblies.
This is to limit the probability of:
  • the inadequate structural strength and integrity of the installation, which could lead to falling masonry components, or
  • deterioration, which could lead to compromised structural integrity of the separators or of elements supported or protected by the separators.
This is to limit the probability of structural failure, which could lead to harm to persons.
