The Brick Industry Association (BIA) recommends that the deflection in brick veneer backed by cold-formed steel (CFS) stud wall should not exceed L/600 for the lateral load on the wall, where L = stud span. What is the maximum allowable deflection if the height of studs is 10 ft?
What will be an ideal response?
Maximum permissible deflection = (L/600) = (10 × 12)/600 = 0.2 in. (Note the typo on page 704 of the text.)
