One of the most neglected elements in the design of buildings is the horizontal floor diaphragm and its interaction with the lateral load resisting systems. In steel structures, floor diaphragms are most commonly constructed using composite steel deck with concrete fill, although other systems may also be used.

This course covers the structural analysis, seismic design, detailing, and constructability of diaphragms composed of steel beams and steel deck with concrete fill. The importance of this course lies in the fact that there are not a sufficient number of references dealing with this topic, so the course was designed to be a guide for structural engineers.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify diaphragm components.
• Analyze composite steel deck diaphragm analysis, behavior and design principles.
• Evaluate the dynamic response of buildings and diaphragms.
• Explain intended diaphragm performance.
• Classify the principal elements associated with diaphragm classifications.
• Apply relevant principles to building code provisions pertaining to diaphragms.
• Calculate building analysis and diaphragm forces.
• Determine the design lateral forces.
• Describe diaphragms and discontinuities in the vertical system.
• Assess building modeling issues.
• Summarize diaphragm analysis and internal component forces.
• Specify appropriate requirements for detailing and constructability issues.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 17 questions. CPD credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
