F20
To support and withstand expected loads and forces.
F20
To support and withstand expected loads and forces.
Objective:
OS2.2, OS2.3
APPLICATION:
Design of footings for shallow foundations, in buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence
1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of
Part 9].
INTENT:
To limit the probability that an inadequate design will
lead to the overloading of footings, which could lead to excessive subsidence
of the soil under the footings, which could lead to the cracking of foundations
or building superstructures.
This is to limit the probability
of compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:
- structural failure, or
- for environmental separators or elements supporting environmental separators, the displacement or failure of required environmental separation elements, which could lead to the deterioration of building elements.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.

This is to limit the probability
of compromised structural integrity, which could lead to:
- structural failure,
- for environmental separators or elements supporting environmental separators, the displacement or failure of required environmental separation elements, which could lead to the deterioration of building elements, which could lead to further compromised structural integrity, or
- an inability to resist expected loads, which could lead to
- the excessive deformation or deflection of walls, or
- the excessive deflection or vibration of floors.
This is to limit the probability of:
- the space being unsuitable for its intended use, or
- damage to the building.

OH1.1, OH1.2, OH1.3
APPLICATION:
Design of footings for shallow foundations, in buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence

Part 9].
INTENT:
To limit the probability that an inadequate design will
lead to the overloading of footings, which could lead to excessive subsidence
of the soil under the footings, which could lead to the cracking of foundations
or building superstructures.
For footings supporting
an environmental separator, this is to limit the probability of:
- pollutant ingress (from the exterior or from adjacent interior space, including soil gas, combustion products from parking garages, and particulates),
- precipitation ingress,
- condensation, or
- moisture ingress from the ground.
This is to limit the probability of:
- an inadequate control of relative humidity or water accumulation,
- the generation of pollutants from biological growth or from materials that become unstable on wetting, or
- deterioration, which could lead to compromised integrity of elements supported by foundation walls.
This is to limit the probability of:
- negative effects on the air quality of indoor spaces,
- the inadequate thermal comfort of persons, and
- contact with moisture.
This is to limit the probability of harm to persons.
