Top of Page | |
Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the horizontal load for the
design of firewalls will not take into account the maximum expected forces
that occur during a fire, which could lead to the structural failure of or
damage to the firewalls, which could lead to the spread of the fire from the
building to an adjacent building, which could lead to damage to adjacent buildings.
Intent 2: To direct Code users to other requirements in Section 4.1. specifying
lateral loads on walls [e.g. wind pressure]. |
