Shear Diaphragms and Roof Structures
Shear diaphragms and roof structures (including purlin roof systems, folded‐plate, and hyperbolic paraboloid roofs) are some examples of the structural roof systems that have been studied. This chapter briefly discusses the research work and the design methods for the use of shear diaphragms and roof structures. In order to understand the structural behavior of shear diaphragms, the chapter discusses the shear strength and the stiffness of steel diaphragms. Since the effective use of steel panels in roof construction is not only to provide an economical structure but also to make the building architecturally attractive and flexible for future change, structural engineers and architects have paid more attention to steel folded‐plate and hyperbolic paraboloid roof structures during recent years. The chapter describes the methods of analysis and design of folded‐plate and hyperbolic paraboloid roof structures which are currently used in engineering practice.
