ASAE/ASABE EP484.3 – Diaphragm Design of Metal-Clad, Wood-Frame Rectangular Buildings

This Engineering Practice is a consensus document for the analysis and design of metal-clad woodframebuildings using roof and ceiling diaphragms, alone or in combination. The roof (and ceiling)diaphragms, endwalls, intermediate shearwalls, and building frames are the main structural elements of astructural system used to efficiently resist the design lateral (wind, seismic) loads. This Engineering Practicegives acceptable methods for analyzing and designing the elements of the diaphragm system.

The provisions of this Engineering Practice are limited to the analysis of single-story buildings ofrectangular shape.
