7.2.5 Diaphragm Continuity

California Administrative Code 2019 > 6 Seismic Evaluation Procedures for Hospital Buildings > 7 Procedures for Diaphragms > 7.2 Wood Diaphragms > 7.2.5 Diaphragm Continuity
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
None of the diaphragms are composed of split-level floors or, in wood commercial or industrial buildings, have expansion joints.
For conforming buildings, the evaluator may consider this condition as mitigated, and no calculations are necessary. The deficiency is in the strength of the diaphragm. Evaluate the building with proper recognition of the effects of the discontinuities.
