Drag forces in a truss between 2 Sherwalls

(OP)
Hi all i wanted to know how to calculate a drag truss between two shearwalls, i don´t really know if the drag must be calculated with the maximun shearwall load or only with the diference between the plf form the diaphragm and the plf form the shearwalls. Thanks

RE: Drag forces in a truss between 2 Sherwalls

Whatever stress you are trying to take out of the diaphragm is what you need to analyze the drag truss for.
