In this instance let the two panels either side of the opening have:p h= 1.5 kNNOTE: The values of p n can be of any magnitude usually greater than 1.The above choice of horizontal panel force results in the accumulation of nail force in the timber framingmembers shown in FIGURE 9.18.FIGURE 9.18: Accumulation of nail forcesAccumulation of nail forces in the vertical <strong>and</strong> horizontal framing members is demonstrated by referringto FIGURE 9.18. To do this consider the two 1.5 kN <strong>and</strong> one 1 kN panels to the left of the door opening.FIGURE 9.19: Shows panel shear flows <strong>and</strong> resulting nail force accumulationSummation of the nail forces along the vertical members allows V 2, V 3 , etc. to be evaluated as shown inFIGURE 9.17.9.14 PhotographsAppendix A9 illustrates some practical examples of diaphragms <strong>and</strong> shear walls.115
