Lateral deflection
Lateral deflection
(OP)
I have a 60' tall tower for a steeple. Its steel column and beams with wood framing infill. In the past I have typically used h/400 as the allowable max deflection as well story-story deflection. Since this is somewhat of flexible building, could I use larger allowable values? The allowable lateral deflection section of IBC 06 has always been a little confusing for me in this regard so I am hoping for some expert opinions here.
