Gypsum Roof Deck Diaphragm Shear
Gypsum Roof Deck Diaphragm Shear
(OP)
Does anyone have any resources or experience using a bulb T and gypsum roof deck as a roof diaphragm. This is an existing building with bar joists and steel roof girders. However there is no horizontal "x" bracing at the roof level. I need to do a lateral analysis of the building due to increases in parapet height. Any comments would be appreciated.

Not much and not very good. See IBC 2003 or 2006
