Diaphragms (Chapter 12)• New addition• Why?
– Previously not addressed for SDC A, B, and C
– Seismic design of diaphragm is required for all buildings in SDC B through F
– Special seismic requirements for diaphragms in SDC D, E, and F (ACI 18.12)
– Guidance for engineers Courtesy of NIST GCR 10-917-4 document

Diaphragms
1. Stiff thin structural member that transfers inertial forces to, or between, vertical lateral force resisting members.
2. Ties a structure together.3. Ensures continuous load path within a
building4. Essential for lateral force-resisting system5. Wall and column stability
