with deflection limits for wood studs backing brick veneer. Code provisions and research are examined to determine if these limits are appropriate. Codes and Research What is the maximum deflection limit of wood studs that back-up brick veneer? International Building Code (IBC) Table 1604.3 gives a limit of L/240 for âbrittle finishesâ in exterior walls and interior partitions. Furthermore, footnote âfâ states the wind load is permitted to be taken as 0.70 of the components & cladding (C&C) wind load for the purpose of determining deflection limits.
A beam with length 5000 mm carries a uniform load of 6 N/mm2. The moment of inertia for the beam is 78125000 mm4 and the modulus of elasticity for the steel used in the beam is 200000 N/mm2. The height of the beam is 300 mm (the distance of the extreme point to the neutral axis is 150 mm).
