Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that dead load due to temporary or future partitions, other than permanent partitions shown on the drawings, will not be taken into account in the structural design, which could lead to:

  • excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in, structural components, which could lead to damage to the building, and
  • excessive deflection or excessive vibration of structural members, which could impede the intended use and occupancy of the building.
