Investigation into diaphragm flexibility using shear wall

Investigation into diaphragm flexibility using shear wall

The diaphragm stiffness has a significant influence on the structural responses. Typically engineers assume those diaphragm are rigid. This assumption decreases the degree of freedom and provides easier analysis. But diaphragm damages in past earthquakes, due to its flexibility, have attracted resea...
