4.1.5.12.(1)


Objective	OP2 Structural Sufficiency of the Building
Attribution	[F20-OP2.1,OP2.4] [F22-OP2.4]
Application	Application 1: Minimum specified load due to equipment, machinery or other objects that may produce impact to be taken into consideration for the design of structural elements. This applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A and to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9] that are required to be designed in accordance with the requirements of Part 4.

Intent	Intent 1: To limit the probability that the dynamic structural effect of dynamic forces due to equipment, machinery and other objects that may produce impact will not be taken into account in the design of the supporting structure, which could lead to: the excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in, structural elements, which could lead to damage to the building, and the excessive deflection or excessive vibration of structural elements, which could impede the intended use and occupancy of the building.
