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 an uneven walking surface, which could lead to persons tripping or falling, which could lead to harm to persons.
