Intent 1:
To limit the probability of an inadequate resistance
to sulfate attack or stresses resulting from water absorption and
freeze-thaw cycling.
This is to limit the probability
of compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:
- structural failure of masonry construction,
- where masonry construction is part of an environmental
separator, the excessive deformation, displacement or failure of required
environmental separation elements, which could lead to deterioration,
which could lead to further compromised structural integrity, and
- in assemblies exposed to moisture or the exterior, damage
and deterioration, which could lead to further compromised structural
integrity.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
