Functional Statement:
F20
To support and withstand expected loads and
forces.
F22
To limit movement under expected loads and
forces.
Objective:
OH1.1, OH1.2, OH1.3
INTENT:
To limit the probability of inadequate strength, which could
lead to an inability to resist expected gravity and lateral loads, which could
lead to excessive deflection or damage to roofing.
Where
wood-frame construction supports or is part of an environmental separator,
this is to limit the probability of the displacement or failure of required
environmental separation elements, which could lead to:
- precipitation ingress, or
- compromised thermal performance of components intended to resist
heat transfer.
This is to limit the probability of:
- an inadequate control of temperatures of interior spaces or
water accumulation,
- the generation of pollutants from biological growth or from
materials that become unstable on wetting, or
- deterioration, which could lead to further 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.
