The first part of the Technical Design Guide 35 presents the terminology, concept and design of timber diaphragms with their connections to the lateral load-resisting system (LLRS). The second part reviews a design example of a timber–concrete diaphragm and its connections to the LLRS. The diaphragm is subjected to the wind load applied perpendicular to its long side.
