Intent 1:
To limit the probability that the earthquake design
will not reflect that the response of the Seismic Force Resisting
System should be governed by its most vulnerable part, 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.
