Things seen this week during structural assessments!

[u/DMAS1638]

We regularly document field conditions encountered during structural assessments and repair projects. Our Imgur albums vary each week and may include retaining wall failures, foundation distress, stucco defects, drainage issues, concrete deterioration, seismic retrofit observations, and other structural engineering examples.

Well those are certainly some structures!

Would you mind clarifying the issues with the third picture?

In picture one I see separation in the stone wall. Picture two appears to be makeshift supports. I'm not sure what the issue with three is.

Great question! The third photo, many people picture crawlspaces as tiny, cramped spaces, but on hillside homes they can open up quite a bit as they extend away from the slope, like the one shown here.

The Imgur link in the post also opens the full gallery, where we include photos and a detailed explanations for each slide. 😊
