9.4.4.6.(2) | Application | Intent |
| OS2 | OP2 | OH1 | OH4 | OS3 |
| Objective | OS2 Structural Safety |
| Attribution | |
| Application | Application 1: Design lateral pressure on walls, including foundation walls and the walls associated with exterior
below-grade entrances and window wells, that are subject to lateral loads
from other than drained earth, in buildings to
which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application
of Part 9]. |
| Top of Page | |
| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that any surcharge on foundation
walls will not be included in the design pressures, which could lead to the
walls being unable to resist lateral pressure, which could lead to the cracking
of foundations or building superstructures. This is to
limit the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could lead
to:
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
Intent 2: To expand the application of Section 4.2. to
walls supporting other than drained earth that are not constructed in accordance
with Section 9.15. |
