Horizontal Stiffness of Wood Diaphragms
… investigation was conducted to study the stiffness of wood diaphragms. Currently there is no method to calculate wood diaphragm stiffness that can reliably account for all of the various framing configurations. Diaphragm stiffness is important in the design of wood framed structures to …

Deep Deck and Cellular Deck Diaphragm Strength and Stiffness Evaluation
Twenty cantilever diaphragm tests were performed in the Structures and Materials Laboratory at Virginia Tech. The tests included both deep deck and cellular deck profiles with varying structural and side-lap connections. The tests were conducted with three different structural connections: screws, …

The Seismic Behavior of Steel Structures with Semi-Rigid Diaphragms
… of steel structures with and without rigid diaphragm constraints through numerical simulations and evaluates the appropriateness of relevant design provisions in current seismic design codes. In the first part of the work, six theme structures with different (1) in-plane stiffness of …

Assessment of Analytical Procedures for Designing Metal Buildings for Wind Drift Serviceability
… partially rigid, that provides some rotational stiffness even in case of single row of bolts. Moreover, using a two-dimensional (planar) structural model for analysis ignores any load distribution provided by roof and wall sheeting. Simulation of true behavior of base connection and diaphragm …

Experimental Determination of the Stiffness and Strength of Continuity Tie Connections in Large Wood Roof Dipahragms, and Impact on the Collective Chord Model
… determine whether continuity ties in large wood diaphragms are stiff enough to engage and provide diaphragm flexural stiffness in a collective chord model. Four series of continuity tie assemblies using Simpson Strong-Tie steel connectors were tested to determine the stiffness of each assembly. …
