Im working on SCBF connection and demand is coming from yield strength of the brace how ever code allows to use seismic load comb with omega factor instead, and in RAM Frame I already checked that option for column capacity, but when I go to RAM connection its still requires the connection force demand from brace yielding, what can I do to change the connection force demand?
Thank you,
SCBF Gusset connections in Ram Connection are always checked based on the brace capacity. You would have to change the Braced frame system to OCBF (or None) and add the Omega form load combinations to have it checked for that lesser demand.
Thank you Seth
