I have to design supports for passenger elevator guide rails in a shaftwall hoistway. Considering full height HSS in the wall to attach rails to. The Massachusetts State Building Code adopts by reference ASME A17.1-2004. Can someone with access to this document tell me what, if any, deflection requirements are listed?
