Prepazation Of Reports: A proper- ty owner shall employ a civil or struc- tural engineer to perform the necessary investigation and analysis of an owner's building as set forth below. B. Purpose: The purpose of the re- port is to investigate in a thorough and unambiguous fashion the building's structural systems that resist the forces imposed by earthquakes and to deter- mine if any individual portion or com- bination of these systems is inadequate to prevent a structural failure based on the criteria contained in appendix B. C. Format Of The Report: The fol- lowing is an outline of the format each structural engineering report should follow. This format is not a rigid set of requirements but, instead, provides a framework within which individual ap- proaches to assembling the required information may be accomplished while also allowing the City to evaluate the completeness of each report. 1. General Information: A descrip- tion of the building including: a) the street address; b) the type of occupancy and uses within the building; c) plans and elevations showing the type and extent of lateral force resisting elements in the building; d) a description of the type of construction materials used in the structural systems and information regarding their present conditions; and e) the date of original construction, if known. 2. Investigation And Evaluation Of Structural System: The items to be in- vestigated and methods of investigation and analysis aze contained in this Chap- ter. Calculations and supporting docu- ments prepazed in this process shall be made a part of the report. 3. Test Reports: All field and labora- tory test results shall be included in the report. A statement regazding the sig- nificance of the test results shall be made for each type of structural system or feature tested. 4. Conclusions And Recommenda- tions: Based on the investigation and analysis of the building's seismic-re- sisting structural systems, a statement shall be provided to explain in lay (Pleasanton April 2000) 734-4
