Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the detailed design of plain, reinforced and prestressed concrete components and systems is not carried out in accordance with a suitable comprehensive standard in harmony with the detailed requirements of Part 4, 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.
