Store Front Window Span
Store Front Window Span
(OP)
I am working on designing some light gage for a college addition. I have a 28 t. tall x 12 ft. wide storefront window. It is surrounded on three sides with CMU. At the top, the Arch/Eor is showing a light gage assembly. i put a note on my shops drawing indicating that I assumed the window is spanning horizontally (why wouldn't it?) The Arch has come back and indicated that it is designed to span vertically. I can't believe this is true and, if it was, would there not be significant deflection compatibility issues at the jambs where it runs next to the CMU?
Thoughts?
Thanks

Your spans may be limited by the storefront or curtainwall sections or by the glass. The glass is generally required to meet the requirements of ASTM E1300.
I just finished a system with all operable openings (automatic doors) framed against TSS and light gage framing in a high wind area.
