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.
RE: Reinforce existing steel beam for deflection. I would stiffen the beam and be done with it. There may be other mitigating factors we don't know about but the gist of it is deflection doesn't work so you have to do something. There are many ways to stiffen the beam.. Weld two 8 deep plates to the flanges, one each side of the beam to create a box section, thickness dependent on inertia requirements, and,or. 2. Add more beams parallel to the existing beam to reduce the tributary width, and, or.
