9.23.4.2.(4)ATTRIBUTION:
Functional Statement:
F20
To support and withstand expected loads and forces.
Objective:
OS2.1, OS2.3, OS2.5
APPLICATION:
Maximum spans, in wood-frame constructions to which Section
9.23. applies [see Sentence
9.23.1.1.(1) for application
of Section
9.23.], for built-up lumber ridge beams used to
support roofs, where specified snow loads do not exceed 3.0 kPa.
INTENT:
To limit the probability of excessively long spans, which
could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity loads, which could lead
to structural collapse, which could lead to harm to persons.
