Taxonomy

<p>Deals with the main construction material and lateral load resisting system</p>

<p>Deals with the dynamic response of the structure and its fundamental period of vibration</p>

<p>Deals with the quality of construction materials, level of workmanship, structural detailing and the inclusion of seismic enhancement measures</p>

<p>Deals with the roof/floor diaphragm behavior (flexibility)</p>

<p>Deals with whether the structure is effectively retrofitted or not in the past</p>

<p>Deals with the material and type of foundation structure as well as the soil type</p>

<p>Deals with the size and number of openings (e.g. windows and doors.) within a typical wall panel in LBM construction</p>

<p>Deals with the unrestrained wall panel length between two cross walls/buttresses in LBM construction</p>

<p>Deals with the vulnerability/hazardousness (e.g. falling, overturn, etc.) of non-structural components (e.g. gables, overhangs, roof covering, partitions, bookshelves, etc.)</p>

<p>Deals with the susceptibility to damage due to the different vibrational characteristics of adjacent buildings with insufficient spacing in between</p>

<p>Deals with the condition of the building in terms of damage or deterioration</p>

<p>Deals with the abrupt changes in strength or stiffness in plan and elevation</p>
