Adverse-event construction codes are generally intended to provide survivability for occupants, not continued use of the structure itself.

You'll find that this is the case for, e.g., earthquake construction codes in seismicly-active regions.

Structures can be rebuilt. Humans are a more challenging rehabilitation challenge.
