F i g u r e 10.12 Transfer diaphragm shears and net shears.

Determine the horizontal collector forces at grid line 3 (see Fig. 10.13):

408 6 . + 471 5 . 243 9 . + 303 3 .

F A = (. ) 283 + (. ) 267 = 1975 8 . lb compression

2 2

969 5 . − 243 9 . + 1028 8 . − 303 3 .

F B = (. ) 267 = 1937 1 . lb co mpression

2

969 45 . + 407 55 . + 1028 8 . + 348 2 .

F C = (. ) 267 = 3676 6 . lb tension

All the calculated forces match the applied forces, ∴OK.
