Analytical investigation of composite diaphragms strength and behavior

Composite diaphragm strength and behavior were studied using non-linear finite element analysis. A total of 57 three panel diaphragm models were analyzed to failure. Parameters studied included beam size and orientation, panel dimension, connector type and distance, slab opening, yield plateau, an...
