Division 1 Mechanical resistance and stability

The construction works must be designed and built in such a way that the loadings that are liable to act on them during their constructions and use will not lead to any of the following:

1. (a)

   collapse of the whole or part of the work;

2. (b)

   major deformations to an inadmissible degree;

3. (c)

   damage to other parts of the construction works or to fittings or installed equipment as a result of major deformation of the load-bearing construction;

4. (d)

   damage by an event to an extent disproportionate to the original cause.
