Remarks
Attached structures are often more vulnerable than the main building, especially if there is inadequate anchorage.

With respect to seismic performance, unreinforced masonry chimneys, as an example, generally collapse even under moderate levels of shaking.

Under significant wind loads, wall attached structures may experience heavier damage than the main structure. They may also become dislodged and create a breach for wind or floodwaters or become flying debris themselves.
