ASCE 7-05 APPENDIX C (Serviceability considerations)
ASCE 7-05 APPENDIX C (Serviceability considerations)
(OP)
appendix c of ASCE 7-05 states that :
"For serviceability limit states involving visually objectionable deformations, repairable cracking
or other damage to interior finishes, and other short-term effects,
the suggested load combinations are:
D + L (CC-1a)
For serviceability limit states involving creep, settlement, or
similar long-term or permanent effects, the suggested load combination is:
D + 0.5L "
does that mean that the wind load should not be considered when checking the deflection of a purlin?
