只给我们5天option day。功课都做不过来。。sigh。懂行的帮我们看看，谢谢咯！
A survey of the foundation was performed. The overall tilt of the foundation
was less than 0.15% as evaluated along the major axis. Several American
Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Foundation Subgroups consider tilt of less
than 1% acceptable. The local floor slope of the foundation was less than 0
.1 % in the front bedroom and other areas of the residence. Local floor
slope of up to 0.5% is acceptable to FHA and other lenders. The interior
distress observed within the residence was cosmetic and minor. Much of the
drywall ceiling cracks were due to tape and bed workmanship and were not
associated with foundation movement. The exterior distress was also minor
and cosmetic. A separation of the stacked brick around an upper story window
may have been caused by the installation of replacement windows. Some minor
movement of the window opening may also have been caused by foundation
flexure. A vertical crack in the brick veneer along the right side was also
observed. This crack was caused by the lack of an expansion joint in this
two story section of brick veneer. The crack connected two windows,
essentially creating its own expansion joint. Current IBC (International
Building Code) would have required an expansion joint.
The foundation was performing as intended with flexure well within the
design values for this foundation. Repairs to the foundation are not
necessary and not recommended. In my opinion, the house was in a acceptable
structural condition and could serve as collateral for the remaining
economic life of the property.
Several cracks at the foundation corners were observed to have caused small
sections of the corner to separate under the brick veneer. These are thermal
stress cracks and are not caused by foundation flexure.
The future performance of the foundation will be affected by the moisture
content of the supporting soils. Proper drainage and a regular maintenance
program of irrigation will be required to maintain and protect the
foundation. Barring any addition of excessive moisture the soil either
around or under the foundation, the foundation system should remain in a
structurally sound condition. The house may undergo future minor movement
depending on how well the soil moisture in the supporting soils is
controlled.
