IBC Table 1604.3

IBC Table 1604.3

IBC Table 1604.3

(OP)
With C&C wind loads, the IBC 2000, now has a 0.7 factor that you can use in association with Table 1604.3, for deflection limits. Since brick deflection limits are not listed in this Table, I assume that we are not allowed to use this reduction factor when calculating deflection for brick venneer with metal or wood stud backup.

Is this how others are interpreting this?

RE: IBC Table 1604.3

I would consider brick a brittle finish. YOu could justify it also considering the interior finish on the studs likely being wallboard. Then use the 0.7 C&C wind load reduction to limit the deflection.
