Abstract

Horizontal wood diaphragm systems, whether decked with conventional or mass timber panels, transfer wind and seismic loads to vertical elements of a lateral force-resisting system (LFRS), in flexible, rigid, or semirigid fashion. Characterizing and calculating the resulting diaphragm deflections determines the distribution of forces to critically loaded components and a significant portion of lateral building translations and rotations. Deflection equations for sheathed wood structural panel (WSP) diaphragms are well established in US design standards in a four-term expression that models flexural, shear, and fastener-slip deformations, and its full derivation using principles of mechanics is provided herein. Derivations of similar equations for cross-laminated timber (CLT) diaphragms have yet to unfold, despite growing industry consensus that CLT panels make efficient slabs and decks. In this first of two companion papers, the corrected full derivation of the current four-term WSP diaphragm deflection expression is provided and assessed, and two ways to quantify the cumulative contribution of fastener slip are presented to expand its usage to a wider variety of WSP and CLT configurations in current use. Building on this generalized mechanics-based derivation, the authors are able to propose and assess in the companion paper a unified diaphragm deflection model to compute both WSP and CLT diaphragm deflections as implemented under current practice and guide further development.

Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
