Intent 1:
To limit the probability that the elastic storey
shears, storey forces, member forces and deflections resulting from
a Linear Dynamic Analysis will be proportioned in accordance with
the design base shear, 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.
Intent 2:
To limit the probability that the elastic storey
shears, storey forces, member forces and deflections resulting from
a Linear Dynamic Analysis will not be augmented by the effect of accidental
torsion, 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.
