definition of "structurally sound"

definition of "structurally sound"

(OP)
I have an associate who is working on a lawsuit involving a residential foundation evaluation report.  The report used the phrase, "structurally sound", to describe the condition of the foundation.  The house had experienced some settling/differential movement, producing cracks in the brick veneer and slab.  The engineer who did the report must have considered them to be within acceptable limits.

Has anyone actually run across a definition (enginering or legal) of the phrase,"structurally sound" before?  

If so, what is it, or where can I find it?

Many thanks,
MThomey
