Application | Application 1: Determination of lateral deflections of elements or
components due to earthquake. 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.
Exceptions:

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the calculation of the deflection
of elements or components will not take into account the expected lateral
deflection and twist of the building structure, including inelastic deformation,
due to the maximum expected seismic ground motions, which could lead to damage
to or displacement of attached or adjacent components of the building, which
could consequently fall or slide, which could lead to harm to persons.
