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 …

Bracing requirements for post-frame endwalls
When diaphragm action is considered in the design of post-frame buildings, the endwalls may require supplemental reinforcement to replace lost strength and stiffness, due to placement of large doors and openings in the endwalls. The diaphragm design standard, ASAE EP484, does not provide guidelines …

EXAMINATION OF PRECAST CONCRETE DIAPHRAGM SEISMIC RESPONSE BY THREE-DIMENSIONAL NONLINEAR TRANSIENT DYNAMIC ANALYSES
… the seismic demands of precast concrete floor diaphragms designed with an emerging design methodology. To accomplish this, three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) models of diaphragm-sensitive precast concrete structures have been developed by extending two-dimensional (2D) diaphragm model …

Computational and Experimental Study on the Behavior of Diaphragms in Steel Buildings
… or shear walls, and a horizontal LFRS with diaphragms playing a crucial role. There are various types of floor and roof diaphragms in steel buildings, such as concrete-filled steel deck diaphragms for the floor system and bare steel deck diaphragms for the roof system of a typical steel …

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, …

Methodology for the Design of Timber Frame Structures Utilizing Diaphragm Action
… In timber frame buildings, SIPs also serve as diaphragm elements, which are flat structural assemblies loaded by shear forces in the plane of the panel. Current design methodologies for timber frame structures do not formally incorporate the structural benefits of SIPs as diaphragm elements, …
