Conveyor support structure
Conveyor support structure
(OP)
I have read through the drift and deflection criteria in the IBC and ASCE 7 and can not find any real guidance as to the allowable lateral drift at the top of a conveyor support.
We have a 145 foot bent that has a lateral deflection of 3.2 inches at its top. This seems like a lot, but maybe not.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

RE: Conveyor support structure
At 3.2" deflection, is the conveyor still going to fuction properly?

The real question is will it affect the operation of the conveyor?
