other structural elements that support fixed seats in any building used
for assembly occupancies accommodating large

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the dynamic horizontal forces
generated by human activities in assembly occupancies with fixed seats accommodating
a large number of people 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 components, which could lead to damage to
the building. |
