4.1.8.3.(2)ATTRIBUTION:
Functional Statement:
F20
To support and withstand expected loads and forces.
Objective:
OS2.1
APPLICATION:
Transfer to the supporting ground of inertial forces
generated in buildings during an earthquake.
This applies to buildings described in Sentence
1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A and to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence
1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application
of Part 9] that are required to be designed in accordance with the requirements
of Part 4.
INTENT:
To limit the probability that the design of the structure
will not incorporate a systematic approach for transferring inertial forces
generated in the more massive portions of the building (e.g. floor slabs)
to the supporting ground, which could lead to structural failure, which could
lead to harm to persons.

Objective:
OP2.1, OP2.4
APPLICATION:
Transfer to the supporting ground of inertial forces
generated in buildings during an earthquake.
This applies to buildings described in Sentence
1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A and to buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence
1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application

of Part 4.
INTENT:
To limit the probability that the design of the structure
will not incorporate a systematic approach for transferring inertial forces
generated in the more massive portions of the building (e.g. floor slabs)
to the supporting ground, 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.
