Structural assessments are performed in a variety of situations to ensure each structure meets all applicable building codes relating to structural integrity.
Designs for new structures are assessed so that any structural problems with the final construction can be avoided. Standing buildings are examined for potential damage in earthquakes, hurricanes, or other natural disasters. Structural problems that could occur due to the passage of time and the action of wind and rain should be anticipated.
In addition, structural assessments are performed on buildings that have suffered damage, to see why a building collapsed or was heavily damaged. This happens after a natural disaster such as an earthquake, or in the case of a collapse during construction. An assessment can also suggest how reconstruction can be performed in way that will keep the same thing from happening again.
A basic structural assessment involves a visual inspection. This determines that a building conforms, at a minimum, to the ASTM Standard E2018-01. Having a team of inspectors carry out this assessment is best, because they can compare notes and one might find something that the others missed. More advanced assessments will make specific recommendations for seismic retrofitting and other preventive measures to protect the building. In addition, it can look at not just the integrity of the entire building, but at stairways, hand railings, underground tanks, foundations, roofs, and general safety.
Structural assessments can anticipate problems that could be very costly and threaten public safety.
Once anticipated, these problems can be resolved and many future problems can be prevented.
