in the investigation of a structure, an engineer must:
a) make a detailed examination of the structural members and
connections to determine their condition; and
b) undertake an analysis of the stresses in the members and
connections to evaluate the structural adequacy of the
structure; and
C) report on the structural adequacy of the building as
shown by the examination and structural analysis in
