What is Diaphragm Chord and Collector Forces Guide about?
This document describes how to obtain diaphragm chord and collector forces within a floor model in ETABS. It outlines an 8 step process to: 1) define a semi-rigid diaphragm and apply forces, 2) display stresses or shell forces, 3) draw section cuts at expected maximum chord locations, 4) ensure resultant force angles are 90 degrees, 5) read chord forces from section cut moment diagrams, 6) draw section cuts at shear wall connections to read collector/shear forces, and 7) ensure resultant force angles are 90
