Detail Report for Flexible Wood Diaphragm Region Design

With multi-story wood buildings becoming more popular, the use of RISAFloor to design these structures is becoming more common. As a result, the design and detailing of the wood diaphragm is crucial to the overall completion of the design. RISA-3D now includes a robust detailed report for the design of a flexible wood diaphragm. Within the detailed report, the Diaphragm Detail Report Key Plan can be found, from which a user can then select a specific diaphragm region.

The Diaphragm Region detail report gives detailed information about the diaphragm design and is split into four main sections: Input, Envelope Diagrams, Design Summary and Chord Force Summary.
