Moment Frame Classification

Moment Frame Classification

(OP)
Hi!

Is there a reference/guide on when to use a certain type of steel frame(special moment resisting frame, intermediate, ordinary, concentrically braced frame, etc)?
I have difficulty in choosing what classification my frame will be in the application of the seismic provisions of AISC.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
