A111.4.5 Diaphragm Openings
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
- Diaphragm forces at corners of openings shall be investigated and shall be developed into the diaphragm by new or existing materials.
- In addition to the demand-capacity ratios of Section A111.4.2, the demand-capacity ratio of the portion of the diaphragm adjacent to an opening shall be calculated using the opening dimension as the span.
- Where an opening occurs in the end quarter of the diaphragm span, the calculation of vuD for the demand-capacity ratio shall be based on the net depth of the diaphragm.
