Characterizing the Load-Deformation Behavior of Steel Deck Diaphragms using Past Test Data
… that current code level seismic demands used for diaphragm design are considerably lower than demands in real structures during a seismic event. However, historical data has shown that steel deck diaphragms, common to steel framed buildings, perform exceptionally well during earthquake events. A …

Experimental and Analytical Evaluation of FRP-Retrofitted Reinforced Concrete Diaphragms for In-Plane Shear Strengthening
Diaphragms are a key component of the horizontal lateral force resisting system (hLFRS) in a reinforced concrete (RC) structure and are crucial for providing sufficient load path to the vertical lateral force resisting system (vLFRS). Diaphragms may require retrofit due to the relocation of vLFRS …

Experimental Program for Fiber Reinforced Polymer Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete Diaphragms
… horizontal loads are trans-mitted from the floor diaphragms to the columns and walls that comprise the vertical lateral force resisting system in a building. Strengthening of the diaphragms in older reinforced concrete buildings may be necessary for several reasons, including to enhance seismic …
