Diaphragm stiffness in wood-frame construction

This thesis presents an investigation of the in-plane stiffness of wood-frame diaphragms. Studying the stiffness of the diaphragm is important since it affects the distribution of lateral loads to shear walls. In order to determine the force in each shear wall, it is common to classify a diaphragm a...
