    Don't Miss the Beedle Award Presentation: "A Stability Journey - Diaphragms, Cold Formed Steel and the SSRC" and the Session: "Seismic Behavior and Design of Steel Diaphragms." It will be interesting to hear about what could come out of this research in relation to Design Guidelines of AISI for Composite Floor Systems with Cold Formed Steel Joists and Shear connectors. It looks like similar type of shear tests could also be implemented for floor systems with composite floor joists, metal deck, concrete slab, and shear connectors which could very well work good for lateral seismic loads. See article of conference preview dedicated to diaphragms in page 25 of special conference edition.

    Very interesting! Thanks. Hopefully there will be links to the test data and research.

    Cheers,
