Yes agree with you, because there's another scenario where the masonry wall above is actually flat all the way to the soffit of beam (6 bricks), which is a higher load, that's why I took the most load..
Nevertheless, is still analysis vs actual. That's why I wonder if there's any code of design...
Agree to BAretired, I did an analysis check on the door frame by assuming the top at flat plate, uniform load above and simply supported at both end (assuming the vertical part of the frame as support point), found that the deflection would not pass.
Surprisingly when I encounter this at site...
What's the code that governs the design of metal door frame?
Is loading from top and sideways (wall loading) considered into the door frame design?
I noticed some project I walked they installed masonry wall directly onto the door frame... Is this acceptable...
