7 Diaphragm Types Rigid Diaphragm behaves as a fully rigid body D diaphragm < 2D shearwalls Inherent and accidental torsion considered in design Flexible Diaphragm behaves as a series of simple beams D diaphragm > 2D shearwalls No torsion Tributary loading to vertical resisting elements (shear walls) 7

8 Diaphragm Flexibility Idealized as Flexible Diaphragm load is distributed to shear walls based on tributary area (common for wood frame) Idealized as Rigid Diaphragm load is distributed to shear walls based on relative wall stiffness Semi-rigid Diaphragm load is distributed to shear walls based on relative stiffness of shear walls and diaphragm 8

18 Diaphragm Design for Non-Residential and Multi-Family Buildings Bryan Readling, PE Senior Engineer, APA

19 Wood Structural Panels are by definition either Plywood or OSB (2302 & R202)

20 Wood Structural Panels come in two grades: Structural I, and Sheathing

21 Wood Diaphragms:! Design Concepts! Deflection Calculations! Design Values

22 Diaphragm Design: Load Effects Load, w: x L Shear, V: V=w(L/2-x) Moment, M: M=w*x/2*(L-x)

23 Horizontal Diaphragms PLAN VIEW

24 Diaphragm Design: Loads w L B Designed like a wide flange beam: Flanges ~ diaphragm chords or collector carry moment Web ~ wood panels and framing carry shear N

25 Wood Shear Wall and Diaphragms Design! Function of: fastener s size, spacing and panel thickness! Values in Tables all building codes! Alternately, capacities can be calculated by principles of mechanics

26 Diaphragm Capacity Table - SDPWS

27 Wood SW and Diaphragm Design Design Capacity Increase - Wind SDPWS Tables 4.2A, 4.2B, 4.2C, 4.2D! The allowable shear capacities have been increased by 40% for wind load resistance

28 40% Increase for Wind - Justification! Confidence in code wind load accuracy is high! The current shear wall and diaphragm tables are based on a 2.8 min. safety factor and it was agreed that a 2.0 safety factor is adequate, thus a 40% increase in tabulated values

29 Wood Diaphragms Design

31 Wind Design Key Points For wind design, shear wall and diaphragm deflections are probably not needed! E.g. the SDPWS doesn t even list G a for wind

32 Unblocked Diaphragm

34 APA Research Report 138 Diaphragm Buckling Failure Diaphragm Shear Strength Failure

35 APA Research Reports 138 and 154! Shear wall history! Diaphragm history

36 Load Path Components 3. Diaphragm

37 Code Definitions Diaphragm! Horizontal or slopped system acting to transmit lateral forces to the vertical-resisting elements (IBC Sec ) Diaphragm

38 Load Path From Diaphragm to Shear Walls w C Ties Chord C Diaphragm reaction goes to shear walls T Chord T

39 Idealizing and Simplifying Complicated Structures! Sloped roofs! Offset roof planes! T-, L-shaped and other odd! Drag struts! Flexible v. rigid diaphragm

40 Sloped Roofs Idealize sloped wood roof diaphragms as if they are flat

41 Idealize it as flat Curved Diaphragms

42 Offset Roof Planes Offset roof planes Treat as two separate diaphragms Each with their own chords

43 Offset Roof Planes Offset roof planes A Provide lateral force resistance (shear walls) at diaphragm boundaries B 1 2 3

44 Offset Roof Planes Roof framing must keep diaphragm in plane Load on diaphragms may be different due to different heights! Proportion load rationally

45 Code Definitions Collector! A horizontal diaphragm element parallel and in line with the applied force that collects and transfers diaphragm shear forces to the vertical elements of the lateral-force-resisting system and/or distributes forces within the diaphragm. Collector (IBC Sec )

46 Collector! A collector works just like a post collects load from beam and transfers it to the foundation! A collector collects load from the diaphragm and transfers it to the shear wall

47 Collector Collector Collector

48 Irregular Diaphragm Shape Shear wall line 4 collector Shear wall line 3 Shear wall line A Shear wall line B collector collector Shear wall line C Shear wall line 2 collector Shear wall line D Shear wall line E Shear wall line 1

52 Framing Perpendicular to Strut Forces Collector Strap

53 Flexible, Rigid and Semi-Rigid Diaphragms! Flexible! Diaphragm load is distributed to shear walls by tributary area! Rigid! Diaphragm load is distributed to shear walls by wall stiffness and torsion! Semi-rigid! Between flexible and rigid, dependent on stiffness

58 Prescribed Rigid Wood Diaphragms (SDPWS) Open front Cantilevered diaphragms Torsionally irregular

59 Rigid Analysis! Direct Shear:! Force proportioned based on stiffness (k)! Torsional Shear:! Force proportioned by! M = F x e! J = kd x 2 + kd y 2! k = stiffness wall! d = distance from center of rigidity! Examples in Breyer et al. F V = F k k kd F = M T J

60 Flexible, Rigid or Semi-Rigid Which do you have?! Prescribed flexible! Calculated flexible! Prescribed rigid! Else, semi-rigid

61 Prescribed Flexible Diaphragm In many cases wood diaphragms are permitted to be idealized as flexible ASCE 7-10 Sec. 26.2: Diaphragms constructed of wood structural panels are permitted to be idealized as flexible.

62 Calculated Flexible Diaphragm ASCE 7-10 Sec Diaphragms are permitted to be idealized as flexible when:! The diaphragm deflection is more than two times the average story drift of adjoining shear walls Δ DIAPHRAGM 2 x Δ SHEARWALLS

63 Calculated Flexible Diaphragm (Average Deflection) Δ SHEARWALLS Δ DIAPHRAGM The longer the diaphragm the more likely it is to calculate as flexible

64 Importance Calculating Shear Wall and Diaphragm Deflection! Rigid v. flexible diaphragm! Drift limit! Building separation

65 Deflections (4-term eqn s)! Shear Wall (IBC ) 8vh 3 vh Δ = he EAb G t v v n + h d b a! Diaphragm (IBC ) Δ = 3 5vL vl ( ΔcX Len + 8EAb 4G t 2b v v ) APA L350 ( has comprehensive listing of input parameters and examples

66 Deflection (3-term eqn.)! Diaphragm (SDPWS 4.2.2) Δ = 3 5vL 0.25vL ( ΔcX + + 8EAW 1000G W a 2 )! G a values for blocked and unblocked diaphragms

67 Diaphragms and Shear Walls! Deflection of Unblocked Diaphragms is 2.5 times the deflection of blocked diaphragm.! If framing members are spaced more than 24 o.c., testing indicates further deflection increase of about 20%, or 3 times the deflection of a comparable blocked diaphragm. (This is based on limited testing of the diaphragm by APA)

68 Prescribed Rigid Wood Diaphragms (SDPWS )

69 Prescribed Rigid Wood Diaphragms (SDPWS )! Open front! Cantilevered diaphragms

70 Semi-Rigid Diaphragm! Diaphragm flexibility - ASCE 7 Sec ! Unless it can be idealized as flexible or rigid, then:! The structural analysis shall consider the relative stiffness of diaphragms and shear walls

71 Semi-Rigid Diaphragm! Semi-rigid results in force distribution somewhere between rigid and flexible! Thus, an envelope approach can be used where the both rigid and flexible models are used and the highest forces from each are selected

72 Wind Design Key Points! Assuming the diaphragm is flexible is always allowed, except for the open front and cantilever case where rigid is prescribed
