Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that a system with a structural irregularity characterized by lesser stiffness in the lower storeys of the building will be used in post-disaster buildings, which could lead to localized concentrations of inelastic deformation, which could lead to 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.
