Synopsis

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).

• 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
