Beam supporting masonry
Beam supporting masonry
(OP)
Curious what others are using as an allowable deflection for beams or slabs supporting masonry. I know ACI530 states span/600 but not more than 0.3 inches for unreinforced but I've been seeing it a lot on thin PT flat slabs and cantilevers that certainly don't meet this criteria. I realize that it's often concealed so some cracking is tolerable but how much deflection is too much?
