Need to know about how to design irregular diaphragms like L or U shape, aslo 3 sides supported diaphragms for analyzing for seismic/wind loadings.

Appreciated if someone guide for this.

Csd,

I need answer from you guys about it, that is why i am here or give some useful link if you know.

RE: Irregular diaphragms

Chapter 16, Section 16.8 Lateral Analysis of Nonrectangular Buildings in the book titled "Design of Wood Structures ASD/LRFD" 6th Edition by Donald E. Breyer, et al contains some examples of a process for dealing with your subject.

RE: Irregular diaphragms

I suggest you become familiar with the term and the various uses of a "drag link"...

ali07,

If you use the google at the top of the post, it will search eng-tips for previous posts on this subject.

People are understandably reluctant to go over topics that have been done many times before.

RE: Irregular diaphragms

(OP)
Thanks,

I was not familiar with that before. I thought it just search google only.

RE: Irregular diaphragms

(OP)
By the way i was talking regarding steel diaphragms.

RE: Irregular diaphragms

You might Google the "Steel Deck Institute" and see what you can find.
