Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that performance, with respect to strength and deflection, will fall significantly below expectations, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity loads, which could lead to the excessive deflection of subfloors, which could lead to the failure of subfloors between floor joists, which could lead to persons breaking through flooring, which could lead to harm to persons.
