Structural sheathing consists of a minimum 9.5mm thick structural panel conforming to CSA O121-M, CSA O151, CAN/CSA-O325.0 or CSA O437.0 fastened with at least two rows of fasteners to the exterior face of the lintel, and a single row to the top plates and studs. Fasteners shall conform to Table (2) A single piece of 89 mm (4 ) thick lumber may be used in lieu of 2 pieces of 38 mm (2 ) thick lumber on edge. (3) If floor joists span the full width of the building without support, lintel spans shall be reduced by 15% for Roof, ceiling and 1 storey, by 20% for Roof, ceiling and 2 storeys, and by 25% for Roof, ceiling and 3 storeys. (4) For ends of lintels fully supported by walls, provide minimum bearing length of 38 mm (2 ) for lintel spans up to 3 m (9-10 ), or minimum bearing length of 76 mm (3 ) for lintel spans greater than 3 m (5) Spans for 0.6 m (2-0 ) tributary width are calculated for lintels in end walls that support only a 0.6 m (2-0 ) width of roof and ceiling, but do not support roof joists, roof rafters or roof trusses. (6) Lintel spans are calculated based on a maximum floor joist, roof joist or rafter span of 4.9 m (16-0 ) and a maximum roof truss span of 9.8 m (32-2 ). Lintel spans may be increased by 5% if rafter and joist spans are not more than 4.3 m (14-0 ) and roof truss spans are not more than 8.6 m (28-2 ). Spans may be increased by 10% if rafter and joist spans are not more than 3.7 m (12-0 ) and roof trusses are not more than 7.4 m (24-3 ) (7) Spans apply only where the floors serve residential areas as described in Table , or the uniformly distributed live load does not exceed that specified for residential areas as described in Table
