Primary Function
Support gravity loads
Transfer these loads to vertical elements
(columns and walls)
Lateral Loads
Distribution of wind and seismic forces to
lateral load-resisting system
The building is designed and detailed to
act as a single unit under the action of
seismic forces.
Floor and roof act as horizontal
diaphragms to resist and transfer
horizontal loads to SFRS
Notes:
Accurate determination of in-plane
shears and bending moments requires
analysis that considers relative rigidity of
various elements
In general, simplifying assumptions made
regarding horizontal diaphragm rigidity
Behavior of certain floor systems difficult to
model analytically due to various attachments
i.e., plywood, metal deck, precast concrete

Design
Collector elements shall be provided that are capable of
transferring the seismic forces
In structures assigned to Seismic Design Category C,D, E, or
F, collector elements (see Fig. 12.10-1), splices, and their
connections to resisting elements shall resist seismic load
effects including overstrength (see 12.10.2.1)
