steel collectors

[Galambos]

does anyone have a good reference or article for design of collectors, associated connections, transfer forces, etc. for steel building lateral systems? i am also interested in examples of steel collector attachments to concrete shear walls for midrise buildings.

thanks for your help,
ted
