Establishment of performance-based seismic design factors for precast concrete floor diaphragms

Zhang, Dichuan; Fleischman, Robert B. (Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, 2016-04-25)

This paper presents an analytical study used to establish design factors for a new seismic design methodology for precast concrete floor diaphragms. The design factors include diaphragm force amplification factors Ψ and ...
Preliminary analytical study on seismic ductility demand of wood diaphragms

Zhang, Dichuan; Fleischman, Robert; Shon, Chang (Advances in Structural Engineering, 2016-01-01)

A new seismic design methodology is being proposed for floor diaphragms for various types of construction materials including wood diaphragms. The new design methodology introduces a design acceleration to keep diaphragm ...
