| Objective | OS2 Structural Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Design capacity of foundations,
in buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for
application of Part 9], where the bearing capacity of soil that
is within a distance of twice the footing width below the bearing
surface of the footing is lower than the bearing capacity of the soil at the bearing surface of
the footing. |

| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that an excessive design capacity
of foundations will lead to soil subsidence, which could lead to the cracking
of foundations or building superstructures. This is to
limit the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could lead
to:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
