Seismic forces to vertical resisting elements from sacristy area diaphragm
The concrete slab roofs of the sacristy areas act as rigid diaphragms. The shear force from these
diaphragms are resisted by the vertical elements based on relative rigidities.
Transverse direction:
Shear wall line 7:
The rigidity of wall segments 7A-7C and 7G-7I was determined to be 5000 kips / in. (876 KN/mm) (see
calculation in low sloped roof shear force section).
