Sentence 4.1.8.1.(10)

Intent 1:

To limit the probability that the calculation of lateral deflection will not take into account the combined effects of expected lateral deflection and twist of the building structure, including inelastic deformation, due to maximum expected seismic ground motions, which could lead to the excessive deformation of 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.
