Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the changed properties of
the soil, rock or groundwater below the building due to climatic or other
conditions, will not be taken into account in the design and construction
of the excavation and foundation system, which could lead to excessive displacement
of the ground or collapse of the excavation, which could lead to damage to
adjacent buildings. Intent 2: To facilitate, through qualification of persons skilled
in the interpretation of the properties found for the design, the determination
of compliance with this requirement. |
