Intent 1:
To limit the probability that the isolator units
will be designed for an inadequate force or will not be able to accommodate
the anticipated deflection, 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.
