By using skin of building as structural diaphragm, or deep beam, engineer can provide resistance to horizontal forces such as wind or earthquake, without expensive cross-trussing or sway bracing; method for design with plywood as shear web is presented, with examples of imaginative use of plywood diaphragms in folded plates, geodesic domes and "space planes"; since web and chord members must be held so that they act together, proper choice of connections is major part of design procedure; basic steps in plywood design.
