| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that organic material will decompose
beneath foundations, which could lead to soil having an inadequate bearing
capacity, which could lead to the undue subsidence of soil under footings,
which could lead to the cracking of foundations or the deformation of building
superstructures. For floors and elements supporting floors,
this is to limit the probability of excessive deflection or damage, which
could lead to rough or uneven floor surfaces, which could lead to persons
tripping or falling, which could lead to harm to persons.
