Intent 1:
To limit the probability that the Equivalent Static
Force Procedure will be used to design structures in situations where
it will not provide a good approximation of the true dynamic response,
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.
