RE: Ghosh diaphragm flow chart

David,


I observed a lot of confusion among instructors when studying this during
graduate school. It's nice to know SK has taken the time to document the
classification procedure.

Subject: Ghosh diaphragm flow chart

Does anyone have comments on the published "Structural Hot Topics" by SK
Ghosh Assoc.?

item #5 is of most interest. I am ordering the document.

Structural Hot Topics (Seminar Workbook)
https://secure.bluehost.com/~skghosha/onlineorder/show_book.php?isbn=20081208
007
#5: Diaphragm: Rigid or Flexible? - A flow chart is presented and
explained so that, given any diaphragm situation, its flexible,
semi-rigid, or rigid classification according to the provisions of ASCE
7-05 can be determined conclusively and quickly.
