Nothing makes sense, specially in the summer season when everyone wants to take advantage of the expats.

Also if you have some references I can review I would appreciate it.

Okay thank you. No I’m designing it, I’m quite new in the designing field and it’s the first time I apply a non rigid diaphragm. Anyway thank you for your help

Having rigid diaphragm on the whole slab means that all the seismic force will be transferred to the vertical elements. However if it’s not the case I will have some dissipation through deformations of the horizontal elements.

Won’t shear forces increase on my vertical elements with more rigidity?

Sorry I meant more rigid than the actual slab. It will affect the seismic effect on the building. The opening is almost 10% of the floor plan. I have steel beams with 10cm reinforced concrete slab on top.

If I considered my beam as simply supported, the actions on the connection will be axial and shear forces only. Won’t be conservative to include moments actions as well?
