Session 4: Diaphragm Design of Post-Frame Building Systems
Rigid Frame and DAFI Methods
Key Learning Objectives
- Present and interpret the Rigid Roof Method for diaphragm design of post-frame building systems.
- Present and interpret the Diaphragm and Frame.
- Interaction (DAFI) Method for diaphragm design of post-frame building systems.
- Use the Rigid Roof and the DAFI methods to determine the wall post and foundation requirements for a post-frame building.
- Compare the design outcomes of the three diaphragm design methods (Sway and Shear Modifier, Rigid Roof, and DAFI).
