Hollowcore roof diaphragm
Hollowcore roof diaphragm
(OP)
I am working on a structure that has load bearing masonry walls with a hollowcore roof. Where can I find the diaphragm capacity of an 8" hollowcore with 2" topping and reinforcing? Or is it as simple as finding my chord force and designing reinforcing such as in a beam?

Spancrete is one of our local suppliers in this area and I know they have datasheets with this info. and their engineers can also walk you thru the procedure.

UcfSE's reference, and the PCI manual is a good one. If you don't have it re-post and I'll try to guide you through the procedure.
