Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the design of the Seismic
Force Resisting System of the building will not take into account the expected
lateral deflection and distortion of the building structure due to maximum
expected seismic ground motions, which could lead to damage to or displacement
of attached or adjacent building elements, which could consequently fall or
slide, which could lead to harm to persons. |
