4.1.8.8.(1)ATTRIBUTION:
Functional Statement:
F20
To support and withstand expected loads and forces.
Objective:
OS2.1
APPLICATION:
Method of application of earthquake forces on building structures.
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 method of applying the
earthquake forces on a building structure will not take into account how the
maximum expected seismic building motions in different directions affect the
seismic forces in the building structure, which could lead to structural failure,
which could lead to harm to persons.

Functional Statement:
F20
To support and withstand expected loads and forces.
F22
To limit movement under expected loads and forces.
Objective:
OP2.1, OP2.4
APPLICATION:
Method of application of earthquake forces on building structures.
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 method of applying the
earthquake forces on a building structure will not take into account how the
maximum expected seismic building motions in different directions affect the
seismic forces in the building structure, 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.
