Characterizing the Load-Deformation Behavior of Steel Deck Diaphragms using Past Test Data

Recent research has identified that current code level seismic demands used for diaphragm design are considerably lower than demands in real structures during a seismic event. However, historical data has shown that steel deck diaphragms, common to steel framed buildings, perform exceptionally well...
