2012 IBC and IRC deflection limits have a new entry for exterior walls "with plaster or stucco finished" L/360. Previously there was just brittle (L/240) and flexible finishes (L/120). Does this deflection limit apply to in-plan and out-of-plane lateral loads? Does this limit only apply to traditional stucco or does it also apply to synthetic and EFIS stucco systems?
