ASAE/ASABE EP558.1 – Load Tests for Metal-Clad, Wood-Frame Diaphragms
The purpose of this Engineering Practice is to define a test method for determination of the in-planestrength and stiffness of a metal-clad wood-frame diaphragm assembly. The design values determined by thismethod shall be used in accordance with ANSI/ASAE EP484 or other acceptable standards to design buildingsor structural systems to resist in-plane shear forces.
