IRC 2006 Masonry Veneer Support
(OP)
In the IRC 2006 R703.7.2 Exterior Veneer support, it states that if you support masonry veneers with wood or CFS beams/headers you have a deflection criteria of 1/600. My questions is at the begining of this section it states that this is valid except in Seismic Design Categories D0, D1, and D2. Does this mean that if i am in one of these SDC's I am not allowed to support masonry veneer with wood or CFS?
Or does this mean i need to look elsewhere for requirements?
Any help would be greatly apreciated....
Thankx in advance.
