Abstract
Statistical characteristics obtained from measurements of out-of-plumb columns and walls in three core-braced buildings and one large industrial building under construction are presented. The new data are presented together with a summary of results of measurements previously available in the published literature. Special techniques are introduced for measuring out-of-plumbs and for reducing the data for use in design.
