  • What are the permissible horizontal deflection in building?

    # For wind case : permissible max. Horizontal deflection is H/500. # For EQ case : permissible max. Horizontal deflection is H/250. # For EQ case you have to satisfy story drift criteria of 0.004H also. All deflection worked out shall be for service loads only i.e. for unfactored combinations.
