Strength and Behavior of Hybrid Diaphragms
Publication: Journal of Composites for Construction
Volume 6, Issue 4
Abstract
Advantages of diaphragms using glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) panels in conjunction with plywood panels as sheathing (hybrid diaphragms) are presented in this paper. The strength and behavior of individual connections between GFRP sheathing panels and wood framing are determined through coupon testing. Coupon test results indicate that GFRP sheathing-to-framing connections have significant increases in strength, stiffness, and energy absorption. The strength and behavior of hybrid diaphragms are determined by testing a conventional diaphragm (wood sheathing only) and a hybrid diaphragm. The hybrid diaphragm sustained 34% more load compared to the conventional diaphragm.
