Frame Requirements

According to Section 1628 of UBC 97 "R" is numerical coefficient representative of global ductility capacity of lateral force resisting systems.
For Cantilivered Column Building Systems R = 2.2.
It will require to design this structure for loads 4 times larger than Special Moment Resisting Frame (R = 8.5).
By using this coefficient every system (with different ductilities) should be able to take requred load.
Is this what you are after?
