Basic Structural Checklist For Building Type S5: Steel Frames/Infill Masonry Shear Walls/Stiff Diaph

The floors and roof consist of cast-in-place concrete slabs or metal deck with concrete fill. Framing consists of steel beams, open web joists or steel trusses. Walls consist of infill panels constructed of solid clay brick, concrete block, or hollow clay tile masonry. Infill walls may completely encase the frame members, and present a smooth masonry exterior with no indication of the frame. The seismic performance of this type of construction depends on the interaction between the frame and infill panels. The combined behavior is more like a shear wall structure than a frame structure Solidly infilled masonry panels form diagonal compression struts between the intersections of the frame members. If the walls are offset from the frame and do not fully engage the frame members, the diagonal compression struts will not develop. The strength of the infill panel is limited by the shear capacity of the masonry bed joint or the compression capacity of the strut. The post-cracking strength is determined by an analysis of a moment frame that is partially restrained by the cracked infill. The diaphragms consist of concrete floors and are stiff relative to the walls. The Basic Structural Checklist For Building Type S5: Steel Frames/Infill Masonry Shear Walls/Stiff Diaphragms mobile app allows you to replace your paper structural checklist with a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet. The mobile form includes fields to document items such as date of inspection, structure/ building location, contractor details, records inspection note, and corrective actions and capture's contractor and inspector's signatures. Once the mobile app is filled out a secure PDF is generated. The PDF is easy to share, and a copy is stored in your account for your concrete records. You can also use the App Builder to personalize and customize this mobile form.
