Wall stud deflection
Wall stud deflection
(OP)
Here in Florida our new code now contains language taken from the International code limiting stud deflections due to lateral (i.e. wind) loads . Distinction is made between brittle and flexible finishes. If I consider stucco to be a brittle finish I am hard pressed to get a 2x4 framed wall to work for even single story applications. For those of you in other parts of country with higher wind speeds, how are you handling the deflection criteria?
