Which collapse consideration is listed incorrectly for loft buildings?
A: Wide-dimensional Cast-iron lofts having front and rear walls supporting girders pose catastrophic collapse potential should they be compromised.

C: A brick wall with sand lime mortar can have this bonding material washed out by large caliber streams, dislodging bricks and seriously weakening the wall.
D: If the structural stability of gravity tank supports is questionable, consider draining the contents of the tank and diverting the water off the roof into a drain pipe, or by opening a standpipe outlet on an upper floor.
