Intent 1:
To limit the probability that sheet steel exposed
to continual wetting will corrode, which could lead to premature failure.
This is to limit the probability of compromised structural
integrity, which could lead to:
- structural failure,
- where sheet steel is used in an environmental separator,
the displacement or failure of required environmental separation elements,
which could lead to the deterioration of building elements, which
could lead to further compromised structural integrity, or
- an inability to resist expected loads, which could lead
to
- the excessive deformation or deflection of walls, or
- the excessive deflection or vibration of floors.
This is to limit the probability of:
- the space being unsuitable for its intended use,
- compromised operation of windows and doors, and
- damage to the building.
