Maximum Deflection/Drift Due to wind
Maximum Deflection/Drift Due to wind
(OP)
Can anyone direct me where I can find some information about the maximum allowable deflection of a Structure due to wind loads?
What is a limit for tall buildings? What code and where in the code reference this?
There ia a tall building and in a windy day people claim they feel the motion, how do I check if this drift is within the allowable limits?
I have seen limilts for Component and Clading but not for overall structure or floor drift?
Thank you for your direction in advance

RE: Maximum Deflection/Drift Due to wind
May I ask,"Structural Commentary I paragraph 74" which code? ACI, ASCI, ASCE?
Did you mean page 74?
Also," h/500 storey height and the h/400 total building that is outlined in the steel design manual annex d."This is in what edition of Steel manual?
Did you mean AISC?
I appreciate more clarity if your intention is helping
Thank you very much

That is the CISC Handbook of Steel Construction and it's actually a part of CSA S16-09 the governing steel design code in Canada.
The link JAE put up is basically the same wording (In my opinion it's wordier but that's my experience when comparing American and Canadian Codes) under the Building Drift heading on page 2.
