The Structural Engineering Podcast

The podcast discusses the importance of structural diaphragms in transmitting lateral loads. It covers the elements of a diaphragm, different types of diaphragms and materials used, design and use of diaphragms in structural engineering, ICC's role in standardized testing, aspect ratios in wood and steel structures, and seismic provisions and diaphragm design.

This week we are discussing the use of seismic systems with a high response modification factor (R) in a low to moderate seismic regions. You might be surprised to hear many opportunities to use these highly ductile systems in places you never thought.
