The owner/users of the building should also be vigilant about development of any new distress, particularly, in primary structural elements such as columns, beams and slabs. Based on the Visual Assessment and available Factor of Safety (FOS) of all types of columns, the building falls in to GREEN category considering gravity loading condition only. The columns have high slenderness at ground floor building which will probably place them into long column criteria. The second order analysis is necessary to check the stability of such long columns and strongly recommended. The building has fixed heavy loads on 1 st floor and roof which will contribute in the overall mass system of the building during an event of earthquake and will definitely make slender columns more vulnerable. Therefore, Detail Engineering Assessment (DEA) of the structure need to be carried out to assess the performance under the seismic load. BUILDING INTEGRITY INSPECTION SUMMARY OPEX MILLS PAGE 2/8

3 6X GENERATOR BUILDING Since the columns have high slenderness ratio, footing is on non- durable timber piles and the underlying soil is liquefiable, a detail engineering analysis of the structure need to be carried out to assess the performance under the seismic load. DENIM GENERATOR BUILDING Since the columns have high slenderness ratio and the 2nd story is a soft- story a detail engineering analysis of the structure need to be carried out to assess the performance under the seismic load. ROPE DENIM GENERATOR BUILDING Since the columns have high slenderness ratios and the underlying soil is liquefiable, a detail engineering analysis of the structure need to be carried out to assess the performance under the seismic load. SSL GENERATOR BUILDING Since the columns have high slenderness ratio and are overstressed and the underlying soil is liquefiable, a detail engineering analysis of the structure need to be carried out to assess the performance under the seismic load. SSL3 BUILDING Hairline cracks in walls, beams and slabs near the AC plant area may be due to fatigue. These cracks should be under vigilant observation taking notice of any propagation or widening Due to high slenderness ratio of the columns, presence of a mezzanine floor and existence of cracks caused by machine vibration, a detail engineering analysis of the structure need to be carried out to assess the performance under the seismic load. BUILDING INTEGRITY INSPECTION SUMMARY OPEX MILLS PAGE 3/8

4 GENERATOR UTILITY BUILDING The owner/users of the building should be vigilant about development of any new distress, particularly, in primary structural elements such as columns, beams and slabs. Based on the available Factor of Safety (FOS) of all types of columns (except the distressed ones) considering gravity loading condition only, the building falls in to GREEN category. Therefore, building is put under in GREEN category with the strong recommendation of immediate repairing two distressed columns. The Detail Engineering Assessment (DEA) of the building is recommended under present condition due to stability issues of the columns at ground floor and soft story phenomenon. DIESEL GENERATOR BUILDING The owner/users of the building should be vigilant about development of any new distress, particularly, in primary structural elements such as columns, beams and slabs. Based on the Visual Assessment and available Factor of Safety (FOS) of all types of columns, the building falls in to GREEN category considering gravity loading condition only. The Consultants recommend intensity of loading should not exceed 40 psf on any location of the building Though columns have high slenderness at ground floor, due to lesser gravity loads columns seem to have adequate margin of safety against gravity load. However, the building has one bay framing system with no redundancy in the north- south direction. This type of structural configuration could make the structure vulnerable under seismic excitation. Therefore, Detail Engineering Assessment (DEA) of the structure need to be carried out to assess the performance under the seismic load. SEISMIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION I. BASIC STRUCTURAL CHECKLIST NON- COMPLIANCES Criteria Description of Conditions Comments Unit System - General The clear distance between the building The building is connected with a 10 storied building (WG- 5 Extension) at 1 st floor Denim being evaluated and any adjacent level with two beams and a Adjacent building shall be greater than 4 percent slab and at the 2 s floor level of the height of the shorter building for with reinforced concrete Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy. steps. Floor levels are different in the two connected buildings. Configuration Soft Story The stiffness of the lateral- force resisting system in any story shall not be less than 70 percent of the lateral- force- resisting system stiffness in an adjacent story above or below, or less than 80 2nd story is found to be a soft- story based on the measured story height and physical dimensions of all columns (Denim ).

5 Condition of Materials Cracks In Boundary Columns percent of the average lateral- force resisting system stiffness of the three stories above or below for Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy. There shall be no existing diagonal cracks wider than 1/8 inch for Life Safety and 1/16 inch for Immediate Occupancy in concrete columns that encase masonry infills. Moment Frames with Infill Walls Interfering Walls Concrete Moment Frames Shear Stress Check All concrete and masonry infill walls placed in moment frames shall be isolated from structural elements. The shear stress in the concrete columns, calculated using the Quick Check procedure of Section , shall be less than the greater of 100 psi or for Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy. Unreinforced Masonry Shear Walls Shear Stress Check The shear stress in the unreinforced masonry shear walls, calculated using the Quick Check procedure of Section , shall be less than 30 psi for clay units and 70 psi for concrete units for Life Safety and Immediate Occupancy. The columns stiffness of ground floor is not satisfying the mentioned requirement ( Utility ). Cracks in two exterior columns (probably more than 1/16 in width) has been observed Masonry infill walls are not isolated in both the interior and exterior moment frames. However, the infill walls are neither structurally integrated with the frame members. The columns of ground floor and 1st floor are not satisfying he mentioned requirements. All unreinforced masonry shear walls do not satisfy the mentioned requirement. Utility All SSL Diesel All II.
