Cantilever Flexible Steel Diaphragm

Cantilever Flexible Steel Diaphragm

(OP)
Does anyone know of any code prescribed limits on using a metal deck horizontal diaphragm as a cantilever? For instance, a steel deck on a box type building with open front and 3 shear walls. I believe there are limits imposed on cantilevering flexible wood diaphragms generated from earthquake faliures but I have not come across any limitations for steel deck diaphragms specifically.
