In ther word, the wind loads are delivered to the ee ments of the MWERS via roof and flor diaphragms. As such, internal pressures cancel out i the determination ofthe total wind load in the ‘iecton of analysis. Thus, in order fortis approach to be valid, no ‘sructral espansion joints are permite in the system: expansion joints Interupt the continuity ofthe diaphragm, resulting in Internal pres sures that donot ence at.
