Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of inadequate moisture resistance
or inadequate provision for drying, which could lead to extended exposure
to surface water or to water from the ground transferred through masonry or
concrete, which could lead to wood decay, which could lead to an inability
to resist expected gravity or lateral loads, which could lead to excessive
movement, deflection or deformation. This is to limit
the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
