For example, one could examine both the shear and bending
deflections at the middle of a simply supported uniformly
G = 12 x 106 psi
E = 29 x 106 psi
A = 16 in.2

The result is that G is replaced by G', where G' is a
plus the fact that we are almost always in the short beam
category, make shear deflections a large part of the total,
and bending deflection a small part. This is quite the
opposite of long beam deflections.
where q is the shear force per unit length and G' is the
shear stiffness now measured in force per unit length and B
is the depth of the diaphragms.

It is very important to realize the G' is not a material
constant, as G is, and it must be determined for each

The diaphragm then must be able to carry 300 plf as a design
