Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the effects of stiffness of elements not part of the Seismic Force Resisting System on the structure will not be taken into account in the design of the structural elements, which could lead to:

  • the excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in, the structural elements, which could lead to damage to the building, or
  • the excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in, the building structure, which could lead to damage to the building, which could impede the intended use and occupancy of the building.
