PEMB Supporting CMU Walls
PEMB Supporting CMU Walls
(OP)
I'm planning on designing a building with a PEMB frame but with CMU walls. What deflection should I require at the top of the CMU walls? l/360? l/600?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

This manual recommends "a lateral drift limit of H/100 for a ten year recurrence wind loading based on main wind force resisting system loads is suggested for low rise buildings with exterior masonry walls reinforced vertically". This is the deflection limit of the steel frame and the masonry panel moves with the frame.
