Intent 1:
To limit the probability of inadequate moisture
protection, which could lead to an unacceptably high rate of surface
corrosion, which could lead to a loss of strength, which could lead
to an inability to resist expected gravity loads.
This is to limit the probability of compromised structural integrity,
which could lead to:
- structural collapse, or
- for construction that supports environmental separators,
the excessive deformation, displacement or failure of required environmental
separation elements, which could lead to deterioration, which could
lead to further compromised structural integrity.
This is to limit the probability of:
- the space being unsuitable for its intended use,
- compromised operation of windows or doors, or
- damage to the building.
