A car hitting a building doesn’t just damage what you see — it changes how that part of the structure behaves. Here, the post has twisted, the brickwork has cracked, and the alignment of the corner has shifted. Even if the visible damage looks confined, the structural load path can still be affected. Insurers usually require a detailed engineering assessment to determine whether the damage is structural or cosmetic — and to make sure any reinstatement meets compliance and performance standards.

Impact of Structural Layout on Buildings' Behavior During EarthquakesTorsional effects may significantly modify the seismic response of buildings, and they have caused severe damage or collapse of structures in several past earthquakes. These effects occur due to different reasons, such as no uniform distribution of the mass, stiffness and strength. Torsion effects in buildings increase lateral deflections in the weaker direction and decrease in the stronger direction. These effects occur due to
