Application | Application 1: Determination of seismic forces to be considered in
the design of diaphragms and their connections, which transfer storey seismic
forces into the Seismic Force Resisting System.

Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability that the design of a floor or roof
acting as a diaphragm will not take into account the maximum expected seismic
forces tributary to that storey which will be transferred through the diaphragm
into the Seismic Force Resisting System, which could lead to:
Intent 2: To limit the probability that the openings in the diaphragm
or the shape of the diaphragm will not be taken into account in its design
for earthquake, which could lead to stress concentrations, which could lead
to:
