2 Today s presentation will include discussion on the following topics: o Definitions o Diaphragm Classification o Diaphragm Analysis o Diaphragm Design Forces o Load Combinations and Amplification Factors o Code and Detailing Requirements o Diaphragm Behavior with Sloped Ramp

3 Definitions Diaphragm Classification Diaphragm Analysis Diaphragm Design Forces Load Combinations and Amplification Factors Code and Detailing Requirements Diaphragm Behavior with Sloped Ramp

4 Diaphragms Definition A diaphragm is defined in IBC 2006 and IBC 2009, section as, A horizontal or sloped system acting to transmit forces to the vertical-resisting elements. When the term diaphragm is used, it shall include horizontal bracing systems. Floor diaphragm serves as the horizontal element of the lateral load resisting system (LLRS), in which the primary (vertical plane) elements are typically shear walls or moment frames. Floor diaphragms serve both to connect the individual vertical elements to create the LLRS, and in the context of seismic design, transfer the inertial forces that develop in a seismic event.

5 Definition Chord Chord is diaphragm boundary element perpendicular to the applied load to resist in-plane bending of the diaphragm. The term chord reinforcement refers to the reinforcement at opposing ends of the floor or floor segment.

6 Collector Definition Collector elements (also called drag struts or drag elements) collect and transfer diaphragm shear forces to the vertical lateral-force-resisting elements and distribute forces within a diaphragm. Collector reinforcement is designed to collect the diaphragm forces back to the primary elements of the LLRS (walls or frames). Shear reinforcement is designed to resist the in-plane diaphragm shear, analogous to beam shear.

8 Diaphragm Classification ASCE 7-05, 12.3 Flexible Diaphragm Rigid Diaphragm Semi Rigid Diaphragm

9 Diaphragm Classification Flexible Diaphragm (ASCE 7-05, ) o Untopped steel decking or wood structural panels when the vertical elements are braced frames, or non-wood shear walls o Untopped steel decks or wood structural panels in one- and two-family residential buildings of light frame construction

10 Diaphragm Classification Calculated Flexible Diaphragm (ASCE 7-05, ) o Computed maximum in-plane deflection of the diaphragm is more than two times the average story drift of adjoining vertical elements of the seismic force resisting system. Loads shall be from the equivalent lateral force (ELF) method of section 12.8

11 Diaphragm Classification Rigid Diaphragm (ASCE 7-05, ) o Diaphragms of concrete slabs or concrete filled metal deck o Span-to-depth ratios of 3 or less o Structures with no horizontal irregularities Semi Rigid Diaphragm (ASCE 7-05, ) o If diaphragm cannot be idealized as flexible or rigid, per ASCE 7-05, section , , or , the structural analysis must model the diaphragm as semi-rigid

12 Classification of Diaphragm Behavior (a) Loading (b) Rigid Diaphragm behavior (c) Flexible diaphragm behavior (d) Semi rigid diaphragm behavior

13 Definitions Diaphragm Classification Diaphragm Analysis Diaphragm Design Forces Load Combinations and Amplification Factors Code and Detailing Requirements Diaphragm Behavior with Sloped Ramp

14 Diaphragm Analysis The analysis of a Diaphragm under the influence of horizontal loads is performed assuming that the floor or roof deck behaves as a horizontal continuous beam supported by the vertical lateral load resisting elements.

F top F ptop F 4 F 3 F 2 F P4 F p3 F p2 Used for the design of vertical elements of LLRS (lateral load resisting system) Used for diaphragm design (chords, collectors, diaphragm shear and connections to vertical elements of LLRS)

16 Diaphragm Analysis Flexible Diaphragm o Distribution of horizontal forces to the vertical lateral load resisting elements is independent of their relative stiffness. o The diaphragm deflection as compared to that of the vertical lateral load resisting elements will be significantly large. Rigid Diaphragm Analysis o Distribute the horizontal forces to the vertical lateral load resisting elements in proportion to their relative stiffness o Diaphragm deflection when compared to that of the vertical lateral load resisting elements will be insignificant.

17 Diaphragm Analysis Semi Rigid Diaphragm Analysis o Complex analysis and such analysis should account for the relative rigidity of all structural elements. o ASCE 7-05 requires structural analysis to explicitly include the actual diaphragm stiffness.

18 Definitions Diaphragm Classification Diaphragm Analysis Diaphragm Design Forces Load Combinations and Amplification Factors Code and Detailing Requirements Diaphragm Behavior with Sloped Ramp

19 Chord Design Calculate the moment based on the beam model. For non-flexible diaphragm, the diaphragm loading may not be uniformly distributed load but trapezoidal distributed load, based on relative rigidity of LLRS and accidental torsion (see the figure below). Calculate the tension and compression by dividing the moment by the diaphragm depth. L w1 + w2 L = R L + R R 2 R L and R R are known values Equation (1) Sum moment about the right support L 1 L ( w1 L) + ( w2 w1 ) L = RLL Equation (2) RL RR Solve Equations (1) and (2) for w 1 and w 2 w 1 w 2 f x f px = γf x Figure: Rigid diaphragm

20 Collector Design Traditional Collector Design Discrete full-depth collector beams that receive shear from the diaphragm along their entire length are provided in line with their associated vertical LLRS Alternate Collector Design (2008 SEAOC Blue Book, article ): Part of the seismic load is resisted by reinforcement directly in line with the shear wall, which transfers the force directly to the end of the shear wall. The balance of seismic force is resisted by reinforcing bars placed along the sides of the wall and uses the slab shear-friction capacity at the wall-to-slab interface to transfer seismic forces to the wall Perspective View of Wall and Connector Perspective View of Wall and Connector Diaphragm Segment Plan Diaphragm Segment Reinforcement
