FEMA P-1026, Seismic Design of Rigid Wall-Flexible Diaphragm Buildings: An Alternative Procedure

Link to FEMA P-1026 Report: https://www.fema.gov/sites/default/fi... Webinar Description: Rigid wall-flexible diaphragm (RWFD) buildings are ubiquitous throughout the United States and commonly take the form of the concrete tilt-up and masonry “big-box” buildings used by retail, storage, and distribution facilities. Seismic performance of RWFD buildings is most related to the large displacements of their flexible roof diaphragms, but traditional seismic design of RWFD buildings lacks a comprehensive consideration of this behavior. The new alternative RWFD procedure introduced in ASCE/SEI 7-22 corrects for this weakness and has been shown to offer better seismic performance for such buildings. The 2022 edition of ASCE/SEI 7 includes a new seismic design procedure for rigid wall-flexible diaphragm (RWFD) buildings that explicitly accounts for diaphragm response and better reflects expected seismic behavior. This webinar will introduce the new procedure as presented in FEMA P-1026, Seismic Design of Rigid Wall-Flexible Diaphragm Buildings, which was updated in 2021 to incorporate newly available research and numerical studies on bare-steel-deck and wood diaphragms and to expand the design examples. The instructor also covers: how the new procedure differs from the traditional one, limitations in ASCE/SEI 7-22 on use of the procedure, and the studies used to develop the procedure. Intended Audience: The webinar is primarily geared towards practicing structural engineers, academic researchers, and building officials. Webinar Presenter: Dominic Kelly, S.E., is a Senior Principal at Simpson Gumpertz & Heger and practices out of its Waltham, MA office. He was Project Technical Director for the development of FEMA P-1026. Dominic has more than 35 years of experience in structural engineering consulting. His practice includes design of new structures, evaluation of existing structures, repair and strengthening of structures, and structural investigations. He has been a member of ASCE/SEI Seismic Code Subcommittee and NEHRP’s Provisions Update Committee at various times during his career, and a member of ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete for the past 20 years.
