Intent 1:
To limit the probability that anchor bolts of insufficient
size will be used and spaced too far apart, which could lead to the
roof framing becoming detached from the insulating concrete form walls,
which could lead to an inability to resist expected gravity and lateral
loads.
This is to limit the probability of compromised
structural integrity, which could lead to:
- elements falling from the building,
- structural failure,
- where elements support or are part of an environmental
separator, the displacement or failure of required environmental separation
elements, which could lead to the deterioration of building elements,
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, or
- damage to the building.
