Intent 1:
To limit the probability that the detailed design
of plain and reinforced masonry components and systems is not carried
out in accordance with a suitable comprehensive standard in harmony
with the detailed requirements of Part 4, which could lead to:
- excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in, structural
components, which could lead to damage to the building, and
- excessive deflection or excessive vibration of structural
members, which could impede the intended use and occupancy of the
building.
