METHOD FOR PREPARING A COMPOSITE MEMBRANE/WOOD FLOOR DIAPHRAGM

摘要

A composite membrane of wood floor diaphragm for construction of new buildings and strengthening of existing buildings to provide improved load transfer capacity and enhanced resistance to gravity and lateral loads, such as earthquake and/or wind for buildings with wood floor framing. The composite membrane extends beneath the wall framing to utilize the composite membrane diaphragm as a load and shear bearing element.

1. A method for preparation for installing a panel comprising the steps of:
providing a table having a first position corresponding to a concave arc in at least a first direction, and a second position corresponding to a planar configuration; placing the table in the first position; placing an adhesive tape of a surface of the table top; orienting a series of boards in a single board basket weave design on the table top such that an opening between the boards form a V-shape; applying adhesive in between the boards in the opening; placing the table in the second position to force adhesive between the boards to be forced upward along opposed edges of the boards; and allowing the adhesive to cure to form a rigid panel.
