The questions asked in this quiz are an adaptation of "rapid visual screening" techniques developed by engineers to quickly identify buildings with potential problems in earthquakes. Obviously, they are not a substitute for a detailed structural evaluation. For more information on the development of this quiz, you may look at the DOCUMENTATION for the quiz (an Adobe Acrobat PDF).
