(Canada) FP Innovations release: New guide on mass timber diaphragms – Interest in mid-rise and high-rise mass timber buildings has created a need for more rigorous structural analysis and design approaches for all components of the structural system, especially for buildings located in high seismic or wind areas.

Diaphragms are an important component of the structural system of any building, but information on performance of mass timber diaphragms is relatively limited when compared to that of other structural components. To fill this knowledge gap, FPInnovations has published a new guide that presents the most up-to-date research and technical information on this topic.
