Offset Diaphragms and Shear Walls

Presented by Terry Malone, PE, SE-Senior Technical Director at Woodworks

Morning sessions: (3.0 Professional Hours)

Part 1-Offset Diagrams

Develop a better understanding of code requirements regarding the distribution of discontinuous member forces within the diaphragm.
Learn how to recognize areas within the diaphragm that require special analysis and detailing.
Learn special analytical tools required to properly analyze complex diaphragms.

Part 2-Offset Shear Walls

Provide information on how to simplify complex diaphragms into more manageable layouts.
Learn how to analyze horizontally offset shear walls to act as a single line of lateral force resistance.
Learn how analyze in-plane offset shear walls.
Discuss common irregularities associated with these types of structures.

Part 3-Diaphragms with Large Openings

Determine if the size of an opening requires special consideration and analysis.
Discuss a method for analyzing a diaphragm with large openings, including pop-ups.
Review three examples of diaphragms with large openings.

Lunch Session: (1.0 Professional Hour)

Part 4-Shear Walls

Review how to develop complete load paths to and through shear walls
Discuss the detailing required to maintain complete load paths
Review how to analyze a FTAO shear wall with a special loading condition
