Attribution
Application
Application 1: 
Counteracting factored dead load to be used in the structural design of buildings and their structural elements to determine anchorage requirements and factored member resistances using the limit states method.
Exceptions: 
except as stated in Sentence 4.1.8.16.(1), which applies to buildings where the seismic design allows for rocking footings.
This applies to buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A and to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9] that are required to be designed in accordance with the requirements of Part 4.

Intent
Intent 1: 
To limit the probability that the counteracting factored dead load used for the structural design of buildings and their structural elements will not be adequate for the determination of anchorage requirements and factored member resistances, which could lead to the excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in, structural components, which could lead to damage to the building.
