<br />differentiations have been made for the type of foundation the building <br /> <br />has, and extent to which the basement is finished and whether the basement <br /> <br />might be more appropriately classified as being crawl space, <br /> <br />2. Multi-family residential structures can be divided by high,rise <br /> <br />(more than ten stories), mid, rise (four to ten stories), garden apartments <br /> <br />(one to three story walk-up units), duplexes and townhouses, <br /> <br />3, Commercial structures have the largest number of building use <br /> <br />types, For structural damage potential inventories, it should be <br /> <br />sufficient to have breakdowns by number of stories and relative size, <br /> <br />These factors are often consistent for types of commercial enterprise, <br /> <br />i,e, fast food restaurants are mostly one story buildings without <br /> <br />basements, and have brick or block construction. <br /> <br />4. Industrial structures also vary by number of stories, building <br /> <br />material, size, and permanently attached equipment, The value of <br />- <br /> <br />individual industrial plants, variability of structural characteristics, <br /> <br />operation, and output usually warrant detailed surveys of individual <br /> <br />properties, Detailed surveys are also required in instances of unique <br /> <br />structures and conditions. <br /> <br />5. Public buildings are defined here as public use -- rather than <br /> <br />publicly owned. Public property includes public offices, schools, <br /> <br />recreation facilities, hospital, churches, and nursing homes. Public <br /> <br />offices, primary and secondary schools, and small churches are all housed <br /> <br />in similar types of buildings, and should only require a brief Windshield <br /> <br />survey. Other public use facilities require detailed interviews and <br /> <br />inspections to obtain value and susceptibility. <br /> <br />V,24 <br />
