Phase 4: Expert Verification and Detailed Assessment

4.1 AI Findings Review
  Structural engineering experts to review AI-generated reports:  Verify identified areas of concern
  Cross-reference with historical data and visual inspections
  Conduct targeted in-person inspections of high-risk areas
  Perform additional testing if required based on AI findings

4.2 Structural System Evaluation
  Assess overall structural system performance:  Evaluate load paths and redundancy
  Analyze seismic resilience (if applicable)
  Review wind load resistance, especially for coastal buildings
  Examine critical connections and joints
  Evaluate post-tensioning systems (if present)

4.3 Material Degradation Assessment
  Analyze extent and severity of concrete deterioration:  Assess carbonation depth
  Evaluate alkali-silica reaction potential
  Review reinforcement corrosion status:  Determine corrosion rates in critical areas
  Assess impact on structural capacity

4.4 Foundation and Geotechnical Review
  Evaluate foundation performance:  Assess any differential settlement issues
  Review potential for liquefaction (if applicable)
  Analyze soil-structure interaction:  Consider effects of soil erosion for coastal buildings
  Evaluate impact of groundwater changes

4.5 Building Envelope Assessment
  Review waterproofing and moisture protection systems
  Assess façade elements for potential falling hazards
  Evaluate energy performance and potential for improvements

4.6 MEP Systems Impact Evaluation
  Assess impact of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems on structural integrity:  Review any unauthorized penetrations or modifications
  Evaluate vibration effects from equipment

4.7 Code Compliance Verification
  Compare current structure with modern building code requirements:  Identify areas needing potential upgrades or retrofits
  Assess compliance with current fire safety standards
