Intent 1:
To limit the probability that force-deformation
and force-velocity characteristics of the supplemental energy dissipation
devices used in the analysis and design of the structural system will
not be representative of the actual properties of the units, 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.
