The webinar covers the design of post-tensioned diaphragms highlighting the benefits of precompression to reduce or eliminate additional drag and chord reinforcement. A discussion of how concrete diaphragms should be modeled is presented and how a traditional steel or wood diaphragm approach does not apply to a concrete membrane. Construction photographs and details will be shown to clarify the design intent.
Part 1:
- Diaphragm Forces
- Diaphragm Analysis – Different Approaches
- Moment and Shear Diagrams
- Diaphragm Design – Two Methods Used – Wood versus Concrete
- “Wood” Design Example
- Diaphragm Design – Concrete Method Example
- Comparison between Different Methods
- Use of Precompression in Diaphragm Design
- Collectors and use of Omega Factor
- Detailing
- Chord Design
