Objective

OP2 Structural Sufficiency of the Building

Intent

Intent 1:

To limit the probability of the improper placement or insufficient embedment of anchor bolts, which could lead to anchor bolts pulling out, which could lead to the roof framing becoming detached from the insulating concrete form walls, which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity and lateral loads.

This is to limit the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:

  • elements falling from the building,
  • structural failure,
  • where elements support or are part of an environmental separator, the displacement or failure of required environmental separation elements, which could lead to the deterioration of building elements, or
  • an inability to resist expected loads, which could lead to:
    • the excessive deformation or deflection of walls, or
    • the excessive deflection or vibration of floors.

This is to limit the probability of:

  • the space being unsuitable for its intended use, or
  • damage to the building.
