public FoundationConnection FoundationConnection {get; set;}
Remarks
Transfers the vertical and lateral loads on the building to the foundation during wind events. Critical in single-family dwellings made of wood-frame and tilt-up construction. Loss of anchorage between building and foundation has been a common type of failure in California earthquakes.

For Industrial Facilities (locations in the U.S. with an occupancy class between 400 and 482), the foundation connection represents the anchorage of equipment at the facility. In these cases, enter one of the following values to indicate the equipment anchorage:

Code Description
0 Unknown
4 Unanchored
6 Anchored

For U.S. Earthquake (M11), you must specify GravityOrFriction if you want to use the Retrofit measures option FoundationAnchorage bolting.

Default: Unknown (0)
