Part 1 in this webinar series presents methods on how to determine the required thickness of a diaphragm based on serviceability and strength (in-plane and out-of-plane) requirements. Also presented are step-by-step procedures on how to determine in-plane diaphragm forces due to wind, general structural integrity, seismic, soil, transfer, anchorage, and connection forces based on the requirements of ASCE/SEI 7-22. Methods on how to determine collector design forces for buildings assigned to SDC C through F are also provided.

Part 2 in this webinar series presents the general modeling and analysis requirements for diaphragms given in ACI 318-19. Information is provided on determination of diaphragm rigidity and horizontal distribution of lateral forces to the vertical elements of the lateral force-resisting system (LFRS). Methods on how to determine the center of rigidity of a system and approximate in-plane stiffnesses walls and frames are also given. Equivalent beam models are covered in detail, with in-depth information provided on how to determine in-plane forces in diaphragms and collectors. Included is a design method for collectors wider than the vertical elements of the LFRS.

Part 3 in this webinar series presents comprehensive information on how to determine and detail the required reinforcement for diaphragms and collectors in accordance with ACI 318-19 and ASCE/SEI 7-22 for buildings assigned to SDC A through F. Step-by-step methods are provided on the following types of reinforcement for two common types of construction: (1) chord reinforcement, (2) diaphragm shear reinforcement, (3) shear transfer reinforcement between the diaphragm and the vertical elements of the LFRS, (4) shear transfer reinforcement between the diaphragm and collectors, (5) anchorage reinforcement, and (6) collector reinforcement. Guidelines and recommendations for economical detailing are provided along with a comprehensive summary of design and detailing requirements.

Part 4 in this webinar series presents comprehensive worked-out examples that illustrate the proper application of code requirements for diaphragms in buildings assigned to SDC B through F. Included are many practical design aids and guidelines that make the design and detailing process simpler and faster.
