A: International Staple, Nail, and Tool Association (ISANTA) ICC ES ESR Power-Driven Staples and Nails for Use in All Types of Building Construction pdf Q: What deflection limits are shown in the code? A: Depends on the sheathing material Brittle Finishes L/240 IBC Table Flexible Finishes L/120 IBC Table Glass 1/175 of glass edge length or 3/4" - IBC

18 Flexible vs. Rigid Diaphragm Q: What deflection limits are shown in the code? 2012 SDPWS Sec. 2.2 Flexible vs. Rigid Diaphragm ASCE 7-10 Section 12.3 Diaphragm Flexibility, Configuration Irregularities, and Redundancy Diaphragms are permitted to be idealized as flexible where the 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. DIAPHRAGM 2 x SHEARWALLS ASCE 7-10 Sec DRIFT AND DEFORMATION Diaphragm Deflection The deflection in the plane of the diaphragm, as determined by engineering analysis, shall not exceed the permissible deflection of the attached elements. Permissible deflection shall be that deflection that will permit the attached element to maintain its structural integrity under the individual loading and continue to support the prescribed loads. ASCE 7-10 Sec DRIFT AND DEFORMATION Structural Separation All portions of the structure shall be designed and constructed to act as an integral unit in resisting seismic forces unless separated structurally by a distance sufficient to avoid damaging contact as set forth in this section.

19 Q: Is diaphragm deflection cumulative with shear wall deflection? A: Yes. Shear walls supporting a horizontal diaphragm would also be evaluated for deflection. Cumulative deflection would then be calculated to determine the maximum anticipated movement to compare with allowables. Q: Are there provisions to calculate the deflection for a diaphragm that is only partially blocked (i.e. at ends only) or is it proper to base the deflection on the entire diaphragm being unblocked? A: There are no provisions for a partially blocked diaphragm. Suggest calculating for both a blocked and unblocked diaphragm to determine magnitude of difference and use engineering judgment. Q: When the nailing pattern in a horizontal diaphragm varies instead of being uniform, how is deflection calculated? A: One approach is to modify the nail-slip constant in the 4- term equation in proportion to the average load on each nail with non-uniform nailing compared to the average load with uniform nailing. APA s Diaphragm and Shear Wall Design and Construction Guide (L350) provides an example: Q: Is there any benefit if wood structural panels are glued to the assembly? A: We are not aware of any added benefit with respect to diaphragm deflection.

20 Q: Is there a multiplier to use for a long-term consideration due to possible enlargement of nail holes or is that all included in the nail slip deflection calculations? A: Testing done to verify diaphragm deflection calculations is based on full reverse cyclic loads, so the effects of nail hole enlargement has been addressed. Q: For large diaphragm, what adjustments to deflection equations need to be made to obtain inelastic diaphragm deflection? A: ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, Section includes an amplification factor C d which is used for story drift and seismic gaps.
