Design Guide for Reinforced Concrete Diaphragms Overview 

The Design and Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Diaphragms is the definitive resource on the design and detailing of these important structural elements for cast-in-place reinforced concrete buildings. The design and detailing requirements in ACI 318-14 are clearly summarized in figures and tables for quick reference.
In the 2014 edition of ACI 318, a new chapter devoted to the design and detailing of reinforced concrete diaphragms was included for the first time. The purpose of this Design Guide is to provide explanatory material based on the provisions of that chapter for diaphragms in buildings assigned to any Seismic Design Category. Numerous design aids and worked-out examples illustrate the code requirements for low-, mid-, and high-rise buildings, including buildings with irregularities.
