Seismic design force level for precast concrete diaphragms

[摘要] This paper provides guidance for determining seismicdesign force level for topped precast concrete diaphragms. This has been a controversial topic ever sinceASCE/SEI 7-16, Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures,1 introduced a sectiontitled “Alternative Design Provisions for Diaphragms” andmandated its use for precast concrete diaphragms in buildingsassigned to seismic design category (SDC) C, D, E, or F.
