QUESTION 1 You are chosing a cladding system for your bullidng. You know the weight of the materials you want and the maxium deflection allowed before the cladding cracks or leaks. Your cladding is supported on spandrel beams that are 36 feet long between columns. Which system will allow you to have the lightest, most shallow, and cheapest spandrel beams? Cold-form metal studs with brick veneer. The system weighs 50 psf and the deflection limit is L/600. An aluminum curtain wall system that weights 15 psf and has a deflection limit of L/240. A metal panel (with insulation) applied to a cold form metal stud wall. The system weighs 8 psf and the deflection limit is L/240. @ A precast concrete panel that weighs 75 psf and has an allowable deflection of 3/8".
