When to use over strength?
When to use over strength?
(OP)
The ASCE chapter 12 provides formulas for calculating over strength values but gives no information on when over strength is required. Anyone know when and when not to calculate over strength?

For structures in Seismic Design Cat "D", all drags and their connections are design for overstrength, for example.
Review your steel seismic provisions, several elements that are part of the SLRS require omega design (AISC 341-05)
Your question is extremely broad in nature and isn't one typically asked by a practicing engineer...btw.
