The Effects of Diaphragm Flexibility on the Seismic Performance of Light Frame Wood Structures
… presents work targeted to study the effects of diaphragm flexibility on the seismic performance of light frame wood structures (LFWS). The finite element approach is considered for modeling LFWS as it is more detailed and provides a way to explicitly incorporate individual structural elements …

Influence of Diaphragm Flexibility on the Out -of -Plane Dynamic Response of Unreinforced Masonry Walls
… at their top from an attached flexible floor diaphragm. The 2DOF model incorporates the nonlinear static (pushover) response of two cracked wall segments rocking as rigid bodies.

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 …

System Identification of a Bridge-Type Building Structure
… vibration testing. Interesting findings such as diaphragm flexibility, foundation flexibility and frequency shifts due to thermal effects were all found throughout the mode shape mapping process. Nine apparent mode shapes were experimentally identified, N-S and E-W translational, rotational and 6 …

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 …

Development of a Comprehensive Linear Response History Analysis Procedure for Seismic Load Analysis
… analysis. The assumptions made establishing the flexibility of the diaphragms are also analyzed as well as dynamic methods to include accidental torsion when doing a linear response history analysis. Other modeling issues such as the orientation of the ground motion axis, scaling of element …
