| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: High-strength steel used for tendons in anchor systems
used for the permanent support of foundations or
in the erection of temporary support of soil or rock adjacent to an excavation.
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 high-strength steel tendons
in concrete foundation or excavation support systems will not be resistant
to corrosion or failure in bond to concrete, which could lead to loss of bearing
capacity, which could lead to excessive displacement of ground, which could
lead to structural failure, which could lead to harm to persons.
