Building damage grade evaluation standard.

Risk levelMaximum slopeDifferential settlement (mm/m)Building distortion (rad/m)Risk description

1<1/500<2<4 × 10−3Ignorable: shallow damage is unlikely
21/500∼1/2002∼54 × 10−3∼1 × 10−2Minor: may be damaged in shallow parts, but has no effect on the structure
31/200∼1/505∼2010−2∼4 × 10−2Moderate: shallow damage, possible structural damage, possible related rigid pipe damage
4>1/50>20>4 × 10−2Serious: building structure damage, rigid pipeline damage, possible other pipeline damage
