A simplified finite element model (FEM) of a metal-clad, wood-framed diaphragm panel was investigated. The simplified FEM results were compared with test results and comprehensive FEM results. The average measured design shear stiffness and strength for the diaphragm panels were 2.48 kN/mm and 1.88 kN/m (14,170 lb/in. and 128.8 lb/ft), respectively. The simplified FEM, based on Davies (1977) model, predicted the diaphragm shear stiffness to within 20% of experimental values while the comprehensive FEM, developed by Wright (1992), predicted the diaphragm shear stiffness to within 28% of experimental values. The simplified FEM predicted the diaphragm shear strength to within 51% while Wright’s comprehensive FEM and the analytical method of Bryan and Davies (Davies and Bryan, 1982) both predicted the diaphragm shear strength to within 4% of experimental values. Thus, the simplified model was suitable for predicting the load-deflection behavior in the linear region, but was not suitable in the nonlinear region.
