    This is the approach I was going to default to next. I have the wall reactions from my model and use those in my shear diagram for the...

    Let me switch the question up a bit. I've got a model of the building in question which assumes rigid diaphragm. I keep trying to get...

    If you're designing with a fully rigid diaphragm assumption, then the diaphragm does indeed have an ungodly stiffness...thus some of my...

    But even if you have a continuous shear wall, the diaphragm would be tied in to the wall in some way (shelf angle or similar). So...

    What about the situation where we also have a shear wall directly above a lower wall, but supported by the diaphragm? Are we considering...

    How is everyone handling transfer forces from discontinuous shear walls above a diaphragm, similar to the situation shown below? I'm...
