conformance with the nternational Residential !ode $R!& for residential applications, the nternationalBuilding !ode $B!& for commercial applications, or applica0le 0uilding codes. 4he pro8ect design

should include the intended use and necessar allowances for the e:pected live load, concentrated

load, impact load, and dead load including the weight of the finish and installation materials. n addition

to deflection considerations, a0ove-ground installations are inherentl more suscepti0le to vi0ration.

!onsult grout, mortar, and mem0rane manufacturer to determine appropriate installation materials for

a0ove-ground installations. A crack isolation and higher #ualit setting materials can increase the

performance capa0ilities of a0ove-ground applications. +owever, the upgraded materials cannot

mitigate structural deficiencies including floors not meeting code re#uirements and'or over loading or

other a0use of the installation in e:cess of design parameters

$e.g. "'?L in "7O b@mm in @m&, the su0surface specification must reflect that tolerance, or the tile
