NOTE: Determine which roof areas on the structure
are considered by the structural engineer as
functioning as diaphragms for the lateral force
resisting system.
Composite decks and diaphragm acting decks,
including connections, should be designed by the
structural engineer according to the Steel Deck
Institute. Refer to the Uniform Building Code for
diaphragm decks in seismic areas. All connections
must be shown. Drawings must show wind uplift loads
for roof joist design in addition to the items
listed below.
For non-diaphragm acting, non-composite decks, the
contractor may provide the deck design and
connections. In this case, the drawings must show
roof live loads, including snow loads, and wind
loads, including internal and external pressures and
