Abstract
This paper investigates the importance of including the effects of the flexibility of the horizontal diaphragms when using the P-delta metho d of analysis, especially when considering the loads applied to interm ediate frames on trusses that are not part of the lateral force resist ing system. Analyses were conducted for structural systems with a vari able number of stories, number of bays and diaphragm stiffnesses and s upported by rigid jointed plane frames or vertical trusses.
