Overview of House Condition Grades

Formation of the concept of house condition grading.

Purpose and significance of evaluating the condition of houses.

(3) Applicability of the Standard for Rating the Condition of Buildings

Section 4: House Structure Classification:

1. Frame Structure: Beam and column components of the frame structure are easy to standardize and mold, facilitating the use of integrated assembly structures to shorten construction time. When using cast-in-place concrete frame structures, the integrity and rigidity of the structure are good, and with proper design, excellent seismic performance can be achieved. Additionally, beams or columns can be cast into various required cross-sectional shapes.

2. Steel Structure: The primary load-bearing structure is constructed with steel materials, including suspended cable structures. Such as steel factory buildings, large sports stadiums, etc.

3. Steel and Reinforced Concrete Structures: The primary load-bearing structures are constructed using steel and reinforced concrete. For instance, in a building, some beams and columns may be constructed with steel frames, while others may be built with reinforced concrete frames.

4. Reinforced Concrete Structure: The main load-bearing structure is constructed using reinforced concrete, including thin-shell structures, precast large formwork structures, and reinforced concrete structures constructed using advanced construction methods such as sliding formwork.

5. Mixed Structure: The main load-bearing structure is constructed with reinforced concrete and brick wood.

6. Brick and Wood Structure: The primary load-bearing structure is constructed using bricks and wood, such as a house built with wooden trusses, brick walls, and wooden pillars.

7. Other Structures: All house building structures that do not belong to the aforementioned types are classified in this category.

(V) Item classification of house damage assessment standards.

Section 6: Classification of House Condition Grades.

(7) Calculation of measurement units and the rates of building integrity and dilapidated buildings.

Method for Evaluating the Condition of Residential Buildings

1. Evaluate the condition of the property at different levels based on varying circumstances.

2. Considerations for evaluating property damage and condition levels.

3. Program for Assessing the Condition and Integrity of Buildings:

The house condition grades are divided into five categories: sound houses, basically sound houses, generally damaged houses, severely damaged houses, and dangerous houses.
