Intent 1:
To limit the probability of an inability to resist
expected wind and lateral loads, which could lead to platforms lifting
or sliding off foundations.
This is to limit
the probability of compromised structural integrity, which could lead
to:
- the structural collapse of wood-frame construction,
or
- for construction that supports environmental separators,
the excessive deformation, displacement or failure of required environmental
separation elements, which could lead to deterioration, which could
lead to further compromised structural integrity.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
