21 ESR-97 Most Widely Accepted and Trusted Page of FOOTNOTES TO TABLES 3 THROUGH. Hilti, X-HSN 4 or X-ENP-9 L5 fasteners are used at all panel ends, interior supports and deck edges parallel to the deck corrugations. The sides of adjacent panels parallel to the corrugations are lapped by nesting or interlocking and then fastened with a minimum No. 0 self-drilling steel screws as described in Section 3.7 or button punched.. Evenly spaced seam connectors per span length excluding those at supports. 3. The following assumptions apply to the attached tables: a. The deck sheet length is assumed to equal the span times the number of spans. b. All tables are based on a three span condition. c. For steel deck diaphragms in Tables 3 6, the number of diaphragm edge fasteners at walls or transfer zones parallel to the deck corrugations is assumed to equal the same number of stitch or sidelap connectors at interior sidelaps. d. For concrete filled diaphragms in Tables 8, the number of edge fasteners at walls or transfer zones parallel to the deck corrugations shall not exceed 30 inches (76 mm) on center. 4. Tables 3 5, 8, and 0 apply to intermediate and wide rib / - inch (38 mm) deep steel deck with a flute pitch of 6 inches provided adequate space is available for fastener placement. 5. Tables 6 apply to 3-inch deep steel deck with flute pitch of 8 inches and Tables - 4 apply to -inch and 3-inch deep steel decking with flute pitch of inches, provided adequate space is available for fastener placement. 6. For Tables 8, No.0 screws or larger may be substituted for the specified button punches. 7. For Tables 8-, the number of perimeter edge and perimeter end support fasteners for concrete-filled diaphragms must be determined in accordance with AISI S30-6 or AISI S30-3 Section D4.4. However, the number of perimeter edge and perimeter end support fasteners must be at least equivalent to the number of side-lap connections per span. 8. The embedment of Hilti fasteners into the structural support member is such that the standoff dimension, h NVS in Figures 7 8 is obtained. 9. Hilti fasteners shall be centered not less than inch (5 mm) from the panel ends and not less than 5/6 inch (7.9 mm) from the panel edges parallel to corrugations at the sidelaps. 0. Diaphragm deflections must be considered in the design. Table 9 describes diaphragm limitations. a. Flexibility Factor F is defined as the average micro-inches a diaphragm web will deflect in a span of one foot under a shear load of one pound per foot. F = 000/G, micro-inches/pound (μm/n) E = Modulus of elasticity of supporting steel chord material, pounds per square inch (kpa). I = Moment of inertia, inches 4 (mm 4 ). Diaphragm deflection equations provided apply to rectangular symmetrical diaphragms only. Nonrectangular diaphragms, nonsymmetrical diaphragms with re-entrant corners or diaphragms subjected to torsional loadings require special design considerations. c. Roof diaphragms supporting masonry or concrete walls shall have their deflections limited to the following: Δ = H f c / 0.0E t (For SI: 694,000 H f c / EI) Δ = Deflection of top of wall, inches (mm). H = Wall height, feet (mm). T = Thickness of the wall, inches (mm). E = Modulus of elasticity of the wall material, pounds per square inch (kpa). f c = Allowable flexural compressive strength of the wall material, pounds per square inch (kg/m 3 ). For masonry f c = 0.33f m ; for concrete f c = 0.45f c. FIGURE 7 NAIL HEAD STANDOFF (h NVS ) FOR X-ENP-9 L5 FASTENER FIGURE 8 NAIL HEAD STANDOFF (h NVS ) FOR X-HSN 4 FASTENERS b. The general deflection equation is: d y = M / EI + q / B G d x For a uniformly loaded rectangular diaphragm on a simple span, the maximum deflection at the centerline of the diaphragm is: Δ = 5(78)qL 4 / 384 EI + qlf/ 0 6 (For SI: 5(000) 4 ql 4 / 384 EI + qlf/0 6 ) Δ = Diaphragm deflection, inches (mm). q = Wind or seismic load, kips per lineal foot (N/m) q ave = Average shear in diaphragm in pounds per foot (N/m) over length L. L = Length of diaphragm normal to load, feet (m). B = Width of diaphragm parallel to load, feet (m).

Diaphragms supporting masonry or concrete walls are to have their deflections limited to the following amount: / : 3: 3 / : Δ wall = H f c 0.0 Et For SI: Δ wall = 694,000 H Et f c where: H = Unsupported height of wall in feet or millimeters. t = Thickness of wall in inches or millimeters. E = Modulus of elasticity of wall material for deflection determination in pounds per square inch or kilopascals. f c = Allowable compression strength of wall material in flexure in pounds per square inch or kilopascals. For concrete, f c = 0.45 f c. For masonry, f c = F b = 0.33 f m. 3 The total deflection Δ of the diaphragm may be computed from the equation: Δ = Δ f + Δ w. where: Δ f = Flexural deflection of the diaphragm determined in the same manner as the deflection of beams. Δ w = The web deflection may be determined by the equation: where: Δ w = q ave L 6 0 F For SI: Δ w = q ave L F 75 L = Distance in feet between vertical resisting element (such as shear wall) and the point to which the deflection is to be determined. q ave = Average shear in diaphragm in pounds per foot or newtons per meter over length L. F = Flexibility factor: The average microinches or micrometers (μm) a diaphragm web will deflect in a span of foot (m) under a shear of pound per foot (N/m). 4 When applying these limitations to cantilevered diaphragms, the allowable span-depth ratio will be half that shown.
