BASE PLATE in OCBF
BASE PLATE in OCBF
(OP)
Hi,
I have a 3 story OCBF building in seismic design category D. I was looking into ASIC-341, the code says the brace connections need to be designed for over-strength combination. Does that mean the anchors and base plate also needs to be designed for over-strength combination? Is there a way out of this? Does AISC address this.
Thanks

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
