–Buildings shall resist all lateral (wind & earthquake) and vertical structural loads thru a continuous load path transmitting them ultimately to the ground
Structural Serviceability
–Portions of buildings shall limit vertical deflections & lateral drift (movements)

Durability
–Specified materials and construction methods will result in a long-lasting building
