possible over-dimensioning Explanation: See link, and there are many more examples. I prefer it with hyphen, but it is out there as one word and two. Reference: http://engineering.sdsu.edu/~johnston/Eng_Graphics_Essential... |

possible structural movement Explanation: possible structural movement (of those elements) "Through a combination of interior collapses and movement of structural members or due to a major interior collapse, failure of part of an exterior wall can occur." https://www.firehouse.com/operations-training/article/105449... "Types of structural movement ; These types include: Subsidence, Settlement, Heave, Sway, Bouncy floors, Bulging walls, Expansion and Contraction, and Cracks." https://www.acredesign.co.uk/structural-engineer-2/structura... "There are several possible causes of structural movement: poor design or workmanship when undertaking alterations; failure of structural components, such as lintels or arches over door and window openings; or foundation failure due to ground movement. Tracing the cracks is usually a good indicator of the source of the problem – if the cracks track down to the ground, there is a good chance this is where the problem lies." http://mckennaarchitecture.com/2017/07/14/2496/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2021-01-24 20:37:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It can be shorten to " possible movement" to match the context and still understood by engineers. |
