Description:This report summarizes current design practices for horizontal wood diaphragms which function as part of the lateral force resisting system of a structure. It provides guidelines which include (1) analogies and procedures used to determine stresses and deflections; (2) design details to transfer forces to and from the diaphragm; (3) concepts involved in determining the lateral forces acting on the diaphragm; (4) guidance on selection of materials and construction procedures; (5) limitations of current practice and (6) research needs required to improve the state-of-the-art. The guidelines also included twelve design examples of varying complexity and a brief summary of pertinent research.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Guidelines for the Design of Horizontal Wood Diaphragms.
