drift limits with storefront
(OP)
I'm working on a building that uses aluminum store front for cladding-lots of glass. In between the store front sections is metal stud framing. The top of the storefront framing is about +9'-4" AFF, and the top of the curtain wall is about +18' AFF. We basically have modules of storefront that are getting inserted into metal stud framing.
How much drift is acceptable at the top of the storefront? I seem to remember a value of about 1/2" in a 10 year wind. Thanks.
