Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the calculation of loads due
to earthquake will not take into account how the expected fundamental lateral
period of the building structure affects the seismic forces and displacements
in the structure due to the seismic ground motions, which could lead to structural
failure, which could lead to harm to persons. |
