I have been researching rigid wood diaphragms for an upcoming project. i understand that it can be classified as rigid based on the big long deflection equation from IBC and AWC and comparing it to shear wall deflection.

i would ask if anyone has any tips in classifying a timber diaphragm as rigid. also, how is nail slip quantified for the deflection equation? any tips on quantifying shear wall anchorage elongation besides PL/AE?

thanks for you help in advance.

Go to APA. They publish several booklets on shear walls and roof diaphragms.

Check out the NDS for diaphragm deflections. They have components of the deflection equation to account for nail slip.
