Determining The Transferred Maximum In-Plane Diaphragm Shear Forces To Walls

The document discusses the analysis of shear wall orientation and forces in ETABS. It shows diagrams of a shear wall with the principal in-plane forces and orientations. It then uses Mohr's circle to derive the magnitude and direction of maximum shear, finding it occurs at 67.75 degrees to the horizontal, acting on one side of the shear wall oriented at 62.4 degrees.
