This comprehensive design guide focuses on the seismic design of single-storey steel buildings with flexible roof diaphragms, a structural configuration commonly used in warehouses, recreational facilities, commercial buildings, and large-footprint industrial structures. Developed as part of the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction's Design Module series, the publication provides practical guidance for applying the diaphragm flexibility provisions of the National Building Code of Canada (NBC).
The module examines how diaphragm flexibility influences seismic response, including period elongation, increased ductility demands on the seismic force-resisting system (SFRS), and the amplification of diaphragm forces. It presents code-based design approaches together with additional methods developed to assist engineers in evaluating deformation demands, diaphragm forces, and system performance.
Written for practicing structural engineers, engineers-in-training, and advanced students of structural engineering, this module bridges the gap between code provisions and real-world application. Detailed commentary, step-by-step calculation procedures, design tables, and four comprehensive worked examples guide readers through the complete design process, providing the knowledge and tools needed to confidently carry out their designs.
