Functional Statement:
F20
To support and withstand expected loads and
forces.
F22
To limit movement under expected loads and
forces.
Objective:
OS2.1, OS2.4, OS2.5
APPLICATION:
Counteracting factored
dead load to be used in the structural design of
buildings and their structural elements so as to prevent overturning, uplift, sliding, or
failure due to stress reversal, and to determine anchorage requirements and
factored member resistances using the limit states method.
INTENT:
To limit the probability that the counteracting factored
dead load used for the structural design of buildings and their structural
elements will not be adequate to resist overturning, uplift, sliding, and
failure due to stress reversal, and to determine anchorage requirements and
factored member resistances, which could lead to structural failure, which
could lead to harm to persons.
