Known Issue 296

Under certain circumstances, loss output may be incorrect because certain Foundation Types instead of Foundation Connections are being utilized for loss calculations for Industrial Facilities (400 series) in the Verisk Earthquake Model for New Zealand.

Issue ID 296
Summary Under certain circumstances, loss output may be incorrect because certain Foundation Types instead of Foundation Connections are being utilized for loss calculations for Industrial Facilities (400 series) in the Verisk Earthquake Model for New Zealand.
Description By design, codes 4,5 or 6 (Gravity/Friction, Adhesive/Epoxy or Structurally Connected) in the Foundation Connection field are the only secondary risk characteristic that should effect losses to Industrial Facilities (400 series occupancy codes).  This field was inadvertently swapped with the Foundation Type field in the software which results in codes 4, 5 and 6  (Crawl space cripple wall, Crawl space masonry and Post and pier) of the Foundation Type field effecting losses instead of those same codes in the Foundation Connection field.  This issue is limited to these two secondary risk characteristics for Industrial Facilities only.

Workaround In order to model options 4, 5 or 6 in the Foundation Connection field for Industrial Facilities (400 series codes), use Foundation Type codes 4,5 or 6 (Crawl space cripple wall, Crawl space masonry or Post and pier).
