2. Usual Classification of Diaphragms:Flexible Rigid
a.) Examples: Untopped Precast Concrete Precast Concrete with Topping
Steel Deck Conc. Slab on Steel Deck
Plywood Cast-in-place Concrete
b.) Force Distribution: Tributary Areas Rigidity of Lateral Elements
3. Test for Classification:∆D > 2 * Story Drift ∆D < 2 * Story Drift
∆D < Permissible ∆D < Permissible
a.) Examples: Conc. or Masonry Shear Walls Conc. Slab or Topping with Steel or Wood Deck & Steel Rigid Frames
b.) Test Required: Wood Diaphragms & Shear Walls Conc. Slab & Steel Bracing
Conc. Slab & Conc. Or Masonry Shear walls
Per some resources: ∆D > 2 * Story Drift - Flexible∆D > 0.5 * Story Drift; ∆D < 2 * Story Drift – Semi-Rigid
∆D < 0.5 * Story Drift - Rigid3.
4. How to Play It Safe – Enveloping Analysis a.) Check chords, collectors, attachments for worst case
b.) Diaphragm frequently has the least reserve strength of the lateral system elements; for
instance concrete tilt-up walls with steel deck diaphragm
5. Stiffness of Diaphragm Significantly Greater If:a.) Steel deck welded @ supports @ 6” o.c. ~ five times the stiffness of 12” o.c.
b.) Blocked wood diaphragm > 2 ½ times stiffness of unblocked diaphragm
6. See Code Provisions for Limitations On:a.) Span – Width ratios for diaphragms
b.) Flexible diaphragm limitations for transferring torsion in open ended buildings,
and where masonry or concrete walls cannot withstand the large movements
c.) Limitations on particle board and gypsum board shear walls in higher
seismicity areas
d.) Special attention required at diaphragm chord splices, corners, reentrant corners,
openings, collectors, and connection to walls, bracing, or frames. 4.

.3 k/ft / 1.4 = .21 k/ft (Working Load– E/1.4)
Try unblocked 5/8” PS1 sheathing w/ 10d nails @ 6” oc @ all panel edges and @ 12” oc elsewhere. Allow .215 k/ft. If blocked edges, allow shear = .43 k/ft and ∆ = ~ 40%. Use 5/8” PS1 with blocked edges and same nailing.

Moment to check chord forces
WL/8 = 29.4(90) / 8 = 331 k-ft WL/8 = 59.0(210) / 8 = 1549 k-ft
Chord Force = 1549/100 = 15.5 k
Area of steel required = 15.5 k/ (.9)(36) = .5 sq. in. minimum,
Use a minimum of 2” x 1/4” steel bar continuous @ edge
(or end plate steel beam connection)
