Intent 1:
To limit the probability that forces and deflections
used in the design of the structural system will be insufficient to
account for those typical of structures with supplemental energy dissipation
devices, 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.
