Diaphragm Design of Metal-Clad, Wood-Frame Rectangular Buildings
This Engineering Practice is a consensus document for the analysis and design of metal-clad wood-frame buildings using roof and ceiling diaphragms, alone or in combination. The roof (and ceiling) diaphragms, endwalls, intermediate shearwalls, and building frames are the main structural elements of a structural system used to efficiently resist the design lateral (wind, seismic) loads. This Engineering Practice gives acceptable methods for analyzing and designing the elements of the diaphragm system.
