A Complete Guide to Solving Lateral Load Path Problems
The Analysis of Irregular Shaped Structures: Diaphragms and Shear Walls explains how to calculate the forces to be transferred across multiple discontinuities and reflect the design requirements on construction documents. Step-by-step examples offer progressive coverage, from basic to very advanced illustrations of load paths in complicated structures. The book is based on the 2009 International Building Code, ASCE/SEI 7-05, the 2005 Edition of the National Design Specification for Wood Construction, and the 2008 Edition of the Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS-08).
COVERAGE INCLUDES:
Code sections and analysis
Diaphragm basics
Diaphragms with end horizontal offsets
Diaphragms with intermediate offsets
Diaphragms with openings
Open front and cantilever diaphragms
Diaphragms with vertical offsets
Complex diaphragms with combined openings and offsets
Standard shear walls
Shear walls with openings
Discontinous shear walls
Horizontally offset shear walls
The portal frame
Rigid moment-resisting frame walls--the frame method of analysis
