GIRT DEFLECTION CALCULATION (PRE-ENGINEERING BUILDING DESIGN)
GIRT DEFLECTION CALCULATION (PRE-ENGINEERING BUILDING DESIGN)
(OP)
Hello everyone,
For the pre-engineering building, When we calculate the girt's deflection under the wind load,(cold formed steel and clading system) which should we use to check the deflection, L/360 or L/180?
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Tom

If the girt gives lateral support to CMU, I would use L/360.
