Assessment Procedures

The current equations for diaphragm fundamental period determination and for diaphragm deformation determination published in commonly used seismic assessment documents are firstly reviewed to establish their origin. Using a validated analytical model that captures diaphragm deformation mechanics, three beam idealizations (a fixed-ended flexure beam, a pin-ended flexure beam, and a shear beam) are compared against true diaphragm behavior to determine which idealization is most suitable for the seismic assessment of diaphragm performance. Wherever necessary, recommendations have been made to update and to harmonize the current seismic assessment procedures for timber diaphragms in unreinforced masonry buildings. The presented analysis is specifically focused on straight-sheathed timber diaphragm configurations that are typically found in historic unreinforced masonry buildings.

My response to Fey’s article (1985; reprinted 1992, this issue) focuses on the confusion caused by the application of simplistic phonological definitions and models to the assessment and treatment of children with speech delays. In addition to having no explanatory adequacy, such definitions/models lead either to assessment and treatment procedures that are similarly focused or to procedures that have no clear logical ties to the models with which they supposedly are linked. Narrowly focused models and definitions also usually include no mention of speech production processes. Bemoaning this state of affairs, I attempt to show why it is important for clinicians to embrace broad-based models of phonological disorders that have some explanatory value. Such models are consistent with assessment procedures that are comprehensive in nature and treatment procedures that focus on linguistic, as well as motoric, aspects of speech.
