Intent 1:
To limit the probability that the design base shear
for the structural analysis of unreinforced masonry SFRS will not
take into account all the factors that affect the expected magnitude
and distribution of seismic forces and displacements in the building
structure, which could lead to :
- the excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in,
the structural elements, which could lead to damage to the building,
or
- the excessive deformation of, or excessive stress in,
the building structure, which could lead to damage to the building,
which could impede the intended use and occupancy of the building.
