Question

What is the maximum lateral deflection of column/frame in industrial buildings subjected to crane load plus wind load and for brittle cladding?

(a) height/300

(b) height/250

(c) height/400

(d) height/500

I got this question in class test.

The question is from Deflection & Holes in Beams in division Design of Beams of Design of Steel Structures

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) height/400

For explanation I would say: The maximum lateral deflection of column/frame in industrial buildings subjected to crane load plus wind load and for brittle cladding (pendant operated)  is height/400 and for elastic cladding (cab operated) is height/200.
