Local column deflexion
Local column deflexion
(OP)
Hello
Can you tell me what is your deflexion criteria to calculate the mid deflexion of a steel column depending of the exterior finish (like dryvit, concrete pannel, brick...) or the interior finish like gypsum? For these type of finishes, is L/240 acceptable?
When the column is longer than 20 feet, this criteria become very significant.
Thanks.

Thanks for these informations. Here I use the canadian National Building Code (NBC). For the wall, the only specification is the use of L/180 for the wood structures and there is no specification for the steel and concrete structures.
So what is the specifications for your building code?
Thanks a lot

But for the walls, the limits is subject to engineer judgment. This is why I would have your specifications ou experiences, it's to have more documentation for further discussion.
Thanks
