| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that counteracting loads due to
soil, superimposed earth, plants and trees, which could be removed in the
future, will be included in the design calculations, which could lead to structural
failure, which could lead to harm to persons. Intent 2: To exempt from the application of this requirement counteracting
dead load due to soil for structures that traditionally employ the dead load
of soil to resist loadings. |
