A DESIGN EXAMPLE OF A WOOD CANTILEVER DIAPHRAGM
Designers of modern low-rise and mid-rise multi-family buildings often
face challenges due to fewer opportunities for shear walls at exterior
wall lines (e.g., more glass and larger openings), increased building
heights, and multi-story shear wall effects. While corridor-only shear
walls are becoming more popular to address the lack of adequate
exterior shear walls, methods of analysis for open-front structures
are also evolving to reflect more complex building geometries. The
goal of this presentation is to provide guidance on how to analyze an
open-front or corridor-only shear wall diaphragm, and help engineers
better understand flexibility issues associated with these types of
structures. Although it will focus on seismic design of these
conditions, comparison of wind and seismic design methods will also be
covered.
The techniques and examples covered in this presentation are intended
to demonstrate one method of analysis. It is anticipated that this
information will serve as guidance for designers to consider and
refine their own methods and techniques
