Abstract:
The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Committee
on Structural Condition Assessment and Rehabilitation of
Buildings prepares standards in three areas: structural
condition assessment, assessment of the building
envelope, and assessment of buildings for seismic
considerations. The first standard completed in ASCE
11-90 Standard Guideline for Structural Condition
assessment of Existing Buildings. Current work of the
committee includes revising ASCE 11, drafting a standard
on assessment of the building envelope, and conversion
of various documents of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) related to seismic evaluation of buildings
to standards.
