Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the calculation of loads due to earthquake will not take into account the forces due to the expected seismic torsional moment at any level of the building, taking into account the dynamic response of the building to maximum expected seismic ground motions, which could lead to structural failure, which could lead to harm to persons.

Intent 2:

To direct Code users to Article 4.1.8.12. for the Dynamic Analysis Procedure.
