Subdiaphragm Amplified Force Requirement

Subdiaphragm Amplified Force Requirement

Subdiaphragm Amplified Force Requirement

(OP)
Is it a requirement in the 2003 IBC to design the Subchords and Continous ties in a subdiaphragm using the amplifed force requirements specified in section 1617.1.1.2.  Section 1620.4.4 states that collector elements are required to be designed to this standard, but it seems as if they are specifically talking about main diaphragms.
