Do you know if your structure is stable?
Structural stability is not guaranteed for the lifetime of a building. A building collapse Surfside Florida, and second failure recently in Iowa (see the news video to the right) has precipitated many legal changes around the country. New Laws in Florida , New Jersey and other states as well as guidelines in the Federal Mortgage lenders are requiring an understanding of ‘structural integrity’.

Structural Integrity and Commissioning
Structural integrity is the ability of an entire structure or the elements in it to perform what they’re designed to do and will continue during the expected life of the structure. (e.g In ASCE7 structural integrity is described as a continuous load path and a complete lateral load resisting system to resist the forces indicated). Structural Commissioning is the process of verifying that a structure performs with a level of structural integrity consistent with the design philosophy. Since buildings degrade and are often not built as designed, then a physical measure of the performance of the structure is the best way to help verify Structural Integrity.
