to be considered in the design of buildings and
their structural components.

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the effects of contraction
or expansion caused by temperature changes, shrinkage, moisture changes, creep
in component materials, movement due to differential settlement, and lateral
earth pressure as well as the effects of pre-stress will not be taken into
account in the structural design, which could lead to structural failure,
which could lead to harm to persons. |
