Seismic Diaphragm Demands

Seismic Diaphragm Demands

1 hr. Online Course

Level: Intermediate

Item#: RV-10792AW

SME: Jill Nelson, PE, SE, LEED AP BD+C

This course has been discontinued.

This course will cover the development of the seismic diaphragm forces based on the IBC 2012 and ASCE 7-10 using ASCE 7-10 Section 12.10. The demand on a diaphragm during a seismic event is not well understood. Using the Equivalent Lateral Force, this course will review the forces on the diaphragms and compare them to the story forces.
Course Objectives
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • Illustrate how to develop the demand on the diaphragm to achieve public safety
  • Calculate the story force in regard to life-safety concerns
  • Compare and contrast these two forces
  • Develop strategies to resist those forces in a constructible, safe, and cost-effective manner
