• ARMOROC SHEAR DIAPHRAGM Test
  
• • Armoroc Shear Diaphragm with glue: Ultimate Shear = 1,703 PLF
  • Armoroc Shear Diaphragm without glue:  Ultimate Shear = 1,000.50 PLF
  • Download complete test report here:
  • • ASTM E455 Floor Diaphragm Test with Armoroc (.pdf)
  • Important notes about our diaphragm design:
  • • Addendum A (page 25) has the test results including the glue.
    • To comply with the Armoroc UL & MEA fire-rated assemblies, which do not include any glue, we have tested the shear diaphragm without glue in the joints.  Always check that your fire-rated assembly is in agreement with your diaphragm design regarding glue where applicable. 
    • We are publishing the ultimate shear value, providing the engineer the opportunity to apply the appropriate safety factor required for wind / seismic based on the preferred method of load calculation for each project.
