Hi
I am having confusing to find the correct load to design the connection for the chevron brace connection beam. Can anyone help me out here?
 
Will depend on several factors. Perhaps most importantly where in the world and under what code?
Next what kind of seismic system is the brace a part of?

In general you have some unbalanced forces at the connection due differences in the load carried by the tension member and the compression member.
The connection will need to transmit those load to a system cable of carrying them to the foundation.
