I am looking for any procedures or standards to evaluate the structural stability of an exisitng building subjected to a fire accident. At present this building is not occupied. I was tasked to evaluate the building's structural stability before any personnel were sent in side the building to remove the burnt material. Further, evalute to see if the building can be used with minor repairs. Any information regarding this issue is greately appreciated.
