Allowable deflection for horizontal aluminum Mullion
Allowable deflection for horizontal aluminum Mullion
(OP)
Does anyone know what is the delfection limit for deadload( gravity only) for the horizontal members in aluminum curtainwalls or storefront.
I have been using L/175, but some manufacturers use min of L/360 or 1/8". Where does the 1/8" limit come form. Is it in the code?
Thnaks,

L/175 is an out of plane limit.
