seismic drag connection design forces
when designing seismic braced frames, is the design of drag member connections addresed in the 2005 aisc seismic provisions(in the plane of the frame)?  all other frame connections are addresed, but i do not know whether to amplify the drag connection forces, or use the expected member yield load, or just use the building code loads without any increases.  can anyone enlighten me on this topic.
check out this thread.  i don't know whether it will directly answer your question - but look at the uploaded document attached to my post near the bottom of the thread.
its in the ibc/asce 7 as jae would suggest.
