Back9.23.14.7.(1)

ATTRIBUTION:

Functional Statement:

F22

To limit movement under expected loads and forces.

Objective:

OS3.1

 

APPLICATION:

Orientation of lumber subflooring used in wood-frame constructions to which Section 9.23. applies [see Sentence 9.23.1.1.(1) for application of Section 9.23.].

INTENT:

To limit the probability of subflooring with an excessive effective span, which could lead to inadequate stiffness or strength, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity loads, which could lead to the excessive deflection of subfloors, which could lead to an uneven walking surface, which could lead to persons tripping or falling, which could lead to harm to persons.

ATTRIBUTION:

Functional Statement:

F22

To limit movement under expected loads and forces.

Objective:

OP2.4

 

APPLICATION:

Orientation of lumber subflooring used in wood-frame constructions to which Section 9.23. applies [see Sentence 9.23.1.1.(1) for application of Section 9.23.].

INTENT:

To limit the probability of subflooring with an excessive effective span, which could lead to inadequate stiffness or strength, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity loads, which could lead to the excessive deflection of subfloors, which could lead to the space being unsuitable for its intended use.

Objective:

OH4

 

APPLICATION:

Orientation of lumber subflooring used in wood-frame constructions to which Section 9.23. applies [see Sentence 9.23.1.1.(1) for application of Section 9.23.].

INTENT:

To limit the probability of subflooring with an excessive effective span, which could lead to inadequate stiffness or strength, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity loads, which could lead to excessive movement, vibration or deflection, which could lead to negative effects on the psychological well-being of persons.
