Structural Engineering Diaphragm/Shearwall Book Recommendations
(OP)
Good morning,
I've been in the process of building my library lately. In anticipation of a couple of upcoming jobs that will have non-orthogonal irregularities for lateral restraint, I picked up a copy of "The Analysis of Irregular Shaped Structures" (Malone/Rice). Although the book is incredibly detailed, I was disappointed to find that it does not deal with detailing non-orthogonal diaphragms/shearwalls. Can anyone recommend a book that deals with analyzing/designing/detailing buildings with this irregularity and gives some solid examples?
Thanks!
MF

I remember that they were overall very helpful for the whole seismic design process, but I truthfully can't remember whether they explored non-orthogonal systems.
