Design/Construction Guide: Diaphragms and Shear Walls
www.osbpanel.orgdiaphragms and shear walls are used in the lateral design of a building, the structural system is termed a “box sys-tem.” Shear walls provide reactions for the roof and floor diaphragms, and transmit the forces into the foundation. An accurate method for engi-neering diaphragms has evolved from analytic mod-
FLOOR DIAPHRAGMS.
www.sefindia.orgquite 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
