Full Tensile Capacity of Brace

Full Tensile Capacity of Brace

Full Tensile Capacity of Brace

(OP)
I am working on a job were I am designing vertical bracing connections. The job specs. say that the bracing connections have to be designed for the full tensile capacity of the brace (Pult = RyFyAg) which is an ultimate load using LRFD. Is there any way to use this same criteria using ASD method?  

RE: Full Tensile Capacity of Brace

Probably; check to see if you should be using the AISC Seismic Provisions (or other if you don't use AISC in your area).  I believe it's 341-05.  It has been updated to include provisions in both LRFD and ASD format in most if not all cases.
