Intent 1:
To limit the probability that an inappropriate reference
height will be used for the building or component, which could lead
to an incorrect determination of the exposure factor, which could
lead to:
- the excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in,
structural elements, which could lead to damage to the building, or
- the excessive deflection or excessive vibration of structural
elements, which could impede the intended use and occupancy of the
building.
