4.1.6.4.(1) | Application | Intent |

Objective | OS2 Structural Safety |
Attribution | |
Application | Application 1: Specified load due to the accumulation of rainwater
on a roof or other building surface whose position,
shape and deflection under rain load make such an accumulation possible.
Exceptions:
except as stated in Sentence 4.1.6.4.(4), which applies where
scuppers are provided.

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the rain load used for the
design of structural elements supporting roofs on which rain can accumulate
will not take into account the maximum expected accumulation of rainwater
on a catchment area of roof, which could lead to structural failure, which
could lead to harm to persons. Intent 2: To limit the probability that the one-day rainfall value
used will not be compatible with the geographic characteristics by directing
Code users to Sentence 1.1.3.1.(1) [Appendix C],
which could lead to structural failure, which could lead to harm to persons.
