OP2 Structural Sufficiency of the Building

Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the determination of the torsional sensitivity will not use a three-dimensional elastic model of the Seismic Force Resisting System with the static lateral loads at each floor level applied to account for accidental eccentricity, 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.
