Flexible Diaphragms I - Allocating Loads to Lines of Resistance

Simplified example showing how the seismic load at each floor level is allocated to lines with lateral resistance (for flexible diaphragms). Beam analogy for the diaphragm. Continued in Part II (   • Flexible Diaphragms II - Dividing Loads to...  ). Recorded for CE 4650 at Cal State LA.
