Practical Analysis for Horizontal Diaphragm Design of Wood-Frame Single-Family Dwellings

Creator:

Kirkham, William J., Miller, Thomas H., and Gupta, Rakesh

Abstract:

Seismic design of wood-frame single-family dwellings’ (WFSFD) lateral force–resisting systems requires determination of the stiffness of horizontal diaphragms and shearwalls. During design, sizes and locations of shearwall openings are often changed, altering shearwall stiffness and loads and requiring a significant redesign effort. Rigid and tributary area method analyses are examined...
