Application
Application 1: 
Loads, forces and effects that can be expected due to the intended use, but are not listed in Article 4.1.2.1., to be taken into account in the design of buildings and structural components.
This applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A and buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A] that are required to be designed to the requirements of Part 4.

Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that expected loads, other than those listed in Article 4.1.2.1., will not be taken into account in the design of the structural components of the building, which could lead to:
  • excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in, structural components, which could lead to damage to the building, and
  • excessive deflection or excessive vibration of structural components, which could impede the intended use and occupancy of the building.
