Conventional light-frame construction

Section 2308.1 is amended to read as follows:

2308.1" General The requirements of this section are intended for conventional light-frame construction. Other construction methods are permitted to be used, provided that a satisfactory design is submitted showing compliance with other provisions of this code. Interior non load-bearing partitions, ceilings and curtain walls of conventional light-frame construction are not subject to the limitations of Section 2308.2. Detached one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses not more than three stories above grade plane in height with a separate means of egress and their accessory structures shall be permitted to comply with the State Residential Code subject to the limitations of Sections 2308.2 and 101.2.

2308.1.1 Portions exceeding limitations of conventional light-frame construction.

Where portions of a building of otherwise conventional light-frame construction exceed the limits of Section 2308.2 and the other provisions of this code, those portions and the supporting load path shall be designed in accordance with accepted engineering practice and the provisions of this code. For the purposes of this section, the term "portions" shall mean parts of buildings containing volume and area such as a room or a series of rooms. The extent of such design need only demonstrate compliance of the nonconventional light-framed elements with other applicable provisions of this code and shall be compatible with the performance of the conventional light-framed system".
