Total Views : 972 , Today Views : 1  The following Figure illustrates the effect of diaphragm stiffness on the distribution of lateral loads to the lateral-load-resisting elements. The building shown in the figure has three walls of equal lateral stiffness. If the diaphragm is essentially rigid in-plane and there is no torsion,…
