Abstract
The paper deals with the design requirements for reinforced concrete diaphragms. Although diaphragms are primary members of the seismic force resisting system, ductile detailing of diaphragms is not considered to be required. While the design of diaphragms in regular framed buildings is straightforward, the analysis of transfer diaphragms involves more complex design criteria. Special considerations related to precast diaphragms are dealt with in more detail.
