This is based on limited testing of the diaphragm by apa.
Roof diaphragm deflection.
A diaphragm structure results when a series of such vertical and horizontal diaphragms are properly tied together to form a structural unit.
To analyze the deflection of diaphragms bending shear and slip must be accounted for.
There will also be slip.
Partition is a sheet of internal skeletal muscle in humans and other mammals that extends across the bottom of the thoracic cavity the diaphragm separates the thoracic cavity containing the heart and lungs from the abdominal cavity and performs an important function in.

However sdpws provides an option to calculate deflections using other methods such as the four term equations.
I could use some help on a calculation done for flexible diaphragm deflection.

There will also be slip.
Sheathing materials and unblocked wood structural panel diaphragms.
The thoracic diaphragm or simply the diaphragm ancient greek.
The maximum roof diaphragm moment m equals ww wl x l2 8.
Do shear walls located along diaphragm chord lines affect the diaphragm.
The term diaphragm is usually applied to roofs and floors.
W 612 plf.
A shear wall however is a vertical cantilevered diaphragm.
How is diaphragm flexibility defined for open front cantilever diaphragms vs.
Applies to both floor and roof diaphragms.
If framing members are spaced more than 24 o c testing indicates further deflection increase of about 20 or 3 times the deflection of a comparable blocked diaphragm.
What is the deflection equation for open front cantilever diaphragms.
What are the available methods of distributing torsional forces into the diaphragm.

Deflection of unblocked diaphragms is 2 5 times the deflection of blocked diaphragm.
Also because the diaphragm beam is deep relative to its span it will also have shear deflection.
The roof diaphragm will take load from half the wall below and load directly applied to the diaphragm.
Calculate the lateral load on the roof diaphragm.
A diaphragm is a flat structural unit acting like a deep thin beam.
The corresponding diaphragm chord forces are therefore equal to m divided by the diaphragm depth b.
The maximum unit shear on the wall diaphragm is also equal to the roof reaction r divided by b.
