The figure below shows the column splice detail and the beam to column
connections (which are designed as fin plate connections). Column splices
are located just above floor level.

Example: Tying and the avoidance of disproportionate collapse
The primary beam, A, acts as an internal horizontal tie in this example. The
connection should be designed for the design tensile load, Ti.
Ti = 0,8 ⋅ ( 3,5 + 0,5 ⋅ 3, 0 )10 ⋅ 6 = 240 kN >75 kN

The connections for the other horizontal ties denoted by B, should be designed
for a tensile force of 75 kN.
The vertical tying force, Tv, is in this case for the column splice B shown
above
Tv = (γ G ⋅ g k + γ Q ⋅ qk ) ⋅ Ac = (1, 35 ⋅ 3, 5 + 1, 5 ⋅ 3, 0) ⋅ 60 = 553,5 kN
