Roof Braced Frames Replacing Diaphragm - ASCE 7 Seismic Force Resisting System
Roof Braced Frames Replacing Diaphragm - ASCE 7 Seismic Force Resisting System
(OP)
In the absence of a structural roof diaphragm, when braced frames in the roof plane are used instead; how does ASCE 7 view these braces with respect to seismic requirements?
Are they viewed as just a "diaphragm comprised of bracing" or would they need to fit within a SFRS category and satisfy all those requirements in example SCBF?
