' ` �) _ <br /> ,�,���U�����ALUMAX <br /> Powerpanel Test Data <br /> for <br /> Post-Frame End Walls With Diaphragm Loading <br /> 1.0 Eiackrround <br /> 'ihe maximum shear in a roo(due lo wind loadingoccurs in bothend baysofa rectangularclear-span building. <br /> 'ihe roof shcar in cach end bay must be uansmitted to the end wall and finally to�he ground or foundation system.7T�e <br /> post-(rame end wall thus functions as a diaphragm that delivers the shear load in 1he roof to the embedded postc(or <br /> post-slab connection). <br /> When a doo;is placed in an end wall,a portion of the end-wali diaphragm strength is lost and the sti(fness <br /> of the end wall is rcduced. The infonnation presented hercin gives�he necessary data for the design of end-wall <br /> constructions witti doors. Whcn no door is installed(the end wall is solid),the sample test data can be uud to selxt <br /> conslructions necded Io design post-frame end walls. <br /> Stiffness data are also included to aid building researchers in detertnining thc impact ofend-wall de(lections <br /> on thc�otal building dcsign proccss. <br /> The following dcfinitions apply: <br /> Building Uesign�r—person(s)responsible for the swctural analysis and design o(the building to meet the loading <br /> rcquircments o(the codc ofjuri�diction,or building authoriry. <br /> End-Wall Diaphragm Section—the diaphragm conswction between end-wall posls. <br /> M:ucimum Roof Shcar, V(Ibs)—the maximum shear load in�he roof�hat must be transmilted by the end-wall <br /> diaphragm pancls to thc ground or foundation system. � <br /> Maximum Roof Shcar lntensity,I(Ibs/ft.)—this loading occius at the end wall and can bo calculaled by the ` <br /> Technical Data[nfortnation for Powerpanel 29-Gauge Roo(Panel Diaphragms'.
