Roof Metal Decking Flexible Diaphragm Value
Roof Metal Decking Flexible Diaphragm Value
(OP)
I have a Cold-formed light gage steel framing project and It will be metal roof decking system without filling LT. WT. concrete over metal roof rafters.
1.Can it be considered a flexible diaphragm?
2.Do anyone know diaphragm value of this system?

There is a specific section for rood deck.
Be aware that the values given in the diaphragm tables use Seismic factors of safety. You can get additional capacity from these decks by using the wind factors of safety, if you are in an area where seismic doesn't govern. You should look at SDI publications on the issue.
