Transverse forces:
Shear to wall = mezzanine diaphragm shear x relative rigidity
6682
= 4.66kips (20.7 KN)
Shear to A1-A2 & I1-I2 = (7.89kips)
6682 + 4648
4648
= 3.24kips (14.4KN)
Shear to B1-B2 & H1-H2 = (7.89kips)
6682 + 4648
The unit shear force in the diaphragm, v, will be the maximum at the exterior walls.
v = 4.66 kips / 40'= 116 plf (1.69 KN/m)
Longitudinal forces:
Shear to each braced frame = mezzanine diaphragm shear
Shear to each braced frame = (1/2)(11.87kips) = 5.94 kips (26.4 KN)
The unit diaphragm shear , v =(5.94kips)/20'= 297 plf (4.33 KN/m)
