tall wall "deflection"
Mason,
I am building a new house, 2x6 walls, and insulating with 2lb closed cell foam. Do you where can I find some info on deflection of a wall that is 14'? It is on a gable end. What I would like to find out is how much strength is added with 3" of closed cell foam.
I understand it will depend on how many windows and how big they are.

My goal is to use 2x6 studs and prove it will meet code.
Thanks
mason

Send me your email and I can provide research data on structural strength of ccSPF installed between 2x4 wood and metal studs. Send it to masonknowles@aol.com
