  2. Salam Provide expansion joint in mid where building parts are connecting each other and assign separate diaphragms. Regards

  3. Assign them one name; it is not possible to have two diaphragms at one level. One structural system can only have one diaphragm at any level. Two diaphragms means two independent structural systems.

  4. Yes..According to Taranath, Total lateral deflection of a rigid frame is the combination of following; 1. Axial deformation of columns (15-20%) 2. Shear racking due to bending of beams (50-60%) 3. Bending of columns (15-20%) So the most economical and effective way to reduce drift is to increase beam depths (and slab thicknesses as well).

  5. Increasing the depth of beam will also reduce the drift.

  6. You will need to increase lateral stiffness of the relevant story in the direction of drift. This may be done by increasing column dimension in that particular direction, providing shear walls or the both. Regards.
