Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the connection design force will not reflect the significant risk to life safety associated with such components becoming dislodged or falling off the side of a building, which could lead to:

  • components of the building falling or sliding, which could lead to damage to the building, or
  • damage to and functional failure of a component's system, which could impede the intended use and occupancy of the building.
