The seismic force-resisting system (SFRS) of a building consists of a three-dimensional ensemble of elements that transmit loads and forces from the point of origin down to the soils underneath the foundation. This system typically consists of horizontal and vertical structural elements.
When the building is subject to seismic excitation, the horizontal elements—roof and floor slabs, bending in their own plane, act as diaphragms to transmit the forces horizontally from the point of origin to the vertical elements of the SFRS. The vertical elements (i.e., walls or frames) transmit the forces down to the foundation. Together, these elements function as a system to provide a complete load path for the seismic forces to flow through the building to the foundation and the soils underneath.
Diaphragms not only act to distribute the forces horizontally to the vertical elements of the SFRS, they also tie the vertical elements together to act as a system so that they respond to the seismic forces together, rather than individually. The diaphragms are an integral part of the SFRS of a building and deserve significant attention during the design process.
This course covers the structural analysis, seismic design, detailing, and constructability of precast concrete diaphragms.
