The Seismic Behavior of Steel Structures with Semi-Rigid Diaphragms
… performance 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 …

Improved seismic analysis of unreinforced masonry buildings with flexible diaphragms
The presence of flexible timber diaphragms in many existing unreinforced masonry buildings poses a significant challenge for the assessment of their seismic vulnerability. When diaphragms are flexible, different parts of a structure can interact with each other dynamically, in a way not typically …

Inelastic Seismic Response Of Reinforced Concrete Buildings With Floor Diaphragm Openings
… buildings, the in-plane flexibility of the floor diaphragms is often ignored for simplicity in practical design: i.e., the floor systems are frequently treated as perfectly rigid diaphragms). In recent building standards: ASCE-7, 2005), it is acknowledged that this assumption can result in …
