Abstract
This paper investigates the importance of including the effects of the flexibility of the horizontal diaphragms when using the P-delta method of analysis, especially when considering the loads applied to intermediate frames on trusses that are not part of the lateral force resisting system. Analyses were conducted for structural systems with a variable number of stories, number of bays and diaphragm stiffnesses and supported by rigid jointed plane frames or vertical trusses.
