Deflection at Interior Window Partition
Deflection at Interior Window Partition
(OP)
I need to design the 28' tall door and window jambs for a vestibule. What deflection criteria shall I use for glass. l/600? 5 psf interior wind?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Contrarily, 5 psf wind to me look -even if only for the concept of suction from the exterior- quite meager.
Note that when the wind is pushing inwards, an outer door, even if not at edges, will sustain 66% of the full overall structural wind load, and more if near edges.
If asked to tackle such thing, I very likely would design a inner door of this size as a exterior one, and even more resistant if so I deduce needs be the case depending upon differences of pressure gained from HVAC or chimney effect.

Forgive me! I have not made this clear.
The door is not 28' tall. The wall is 28' tall. It is the interior wall of a vestibule. The series of six doors are 7'-4" tall with many windows above.
