    Flexible Diaphragms

    New search for: Saliklis, Edmond

    Consider now the situation of reinforced concrete, or reinforced masonry shear walls supporting a plywood diaphragm. Relatively speaking, one system (the wall) is much, much stiffer than the other system (the roof diaphragm). In this situation, we look at the structural system as a beam (the roof diaphragm) being flexed between immovable (rigid) wall supports. This structural system is classified as a flexible diaphragm. In reality, nothing is really perfectly rigid, but engineers assume one of the following two situations to be true. Either:
