FLOOR DIAPHRAGMS.

FLOOR DIAPHRAGMS. Definition and function: A horizontal system (roof, FLOOR or other membrane or horizontal bracing) acting to transmit lateral forces to vertical-resisting elements. The floors and roof of a building, in addition to resisting gravity loads, are also generally designed to act as diaphragms. In this respect, they are required both to distribute seismic forces to the main elements of horizontal resistance, such as frames and shear walls, and also to tie the structure together so that it acts as a single entity during an earthquake . The robustness and redundancy of a structure is highly dependent on the performance of the diaphragms.

quite satisfactory, because usually diaphragm flexibility affects neither overall structural stiffness (and hence natural period) nor the distribution of forces within a structure. Moreover, during a major earthquake, in ductile structures where the diaphragms are designed to remain essentially elastic, the superstructure

DUCTILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR BUILDINGS

the brittle failure as result of inelastic deformation can be avoided only if the concrete is made to behave in a ductile manner so that the member can absorb and dissipate large amount of energy. Hence in the case of reinforced concrete members subjected to inelastic deformation, not only strength but also ductility plays vital role in the design.

Retaining walls are structure used to retain soil, rock or other materials in a vertical condition. Hence they provide a lateral support to vertical slopes of soil that would otherwise collapse into a more natural shape. Most common materials used for retaining walls are:
