Seismic Drag Connection Design Forces

Seismic Drag Connection Design Forces

(OP)
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.

RE: Seismic Drag Connection Design Forces

Its in the IBC/ASCE 7 as JAE would suggest.
