Rigid Diaphragm Analysis, Lightweight Walls
Rigid Diaphragm Analysis, Lightweight Walls
(OP)
Hey, does anyone have any good resources or know of any articles on rigid diaphragm analysis that would be applicable for a residential building with wood (not CMU) walls on its lintel plan and second/third floor levels? I want to properly find the effective center of mass of the building and find the required stiffness of the walls, etc. Does anyone have any experience in that area that could help me out? Thanks!
I've found a few articles, most of which don't dive heavily enough into the math and the process, and most of which talk about CMU or structural concrete walls. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
