Objective

OP2 Structural Sufficiency of the Building

Attribution

Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of inadequate stiffness or strength, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity or lateral loads, which could lead to damage to roofing.

This is to limit the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:

  • the structural collapse of wood-frame construction, or
  • precipitation ingress, which could lead to deterioration, which could lead to further compromised structural integrity of the roof.

This is to limit the probability of damage to the building.
