I am trying to calculate the deflection of larger wood diaphragm of an existing building to check the seismic separation. I used SDPWS Eq 4.2-1 to calculate the diaphragm deflection using my pseudo static shear force. However, using ASCE 41-17, I am coming up with almost 2x the deflection I would calculate with ASCE 7-16. The numbers make sense given the R-value and Cd factor with ASCE 7-16. I am just questioning whether I was correct in using the pseudo static shear to calculation diaphragm deflection in ASCE 41-17. Does anyone have experience with this aspect of ASCE 41-17?
