- 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.
