What is the difference between the eccentrically braced frame moment-resisting, and non-moment resisting per Table 1617.6.2 (2.A and 2.B)?
(Which is the frame with the inverted V-shape and which is the V-shape?)

So, then what is the difference between the dual EBF and moment frame and the regular EBF frame? The IBC also defines two types of EBF frame in each case: moment resisting and non-moment resisting.
RE: EBF's IBC 2003
A dual EBF/moment frame system has SEPARATE moment frames that are designed to resist 25% of the total building base shear.
The only distinction between the two types of EBFs is whether or not the beams outside of the special link segment have moment connections.
