wood framed building wind deflections
wood framed building wind deflections
(OP)
We are designing a 5 story wood framed building (four floors of wood on top of a CMU 1st level)with 11' story heights. We would like to use wood shear walls for our lateral resistance system.
What is a good/reasonable maximum wind deflection for this type of building?
In our area of the country the wind controls over seismic. Our code and reference manuals give maximum allowable deflections for seismic but not for wind loading.
Thanks
