I am evaluating 115' tall industrial structure. The structure is inverted V braced (concetricaly braced per AISC seismic provision)in one direction and knee braced in other direction. Sesismic zone is D.
My question is how to categorize Knee Braced frame per AISC seismic provision and detail the connections. Is it a
1. Special or Ordinary Moment Frame or
2. Ordinary Brace Frame (however, OBF are limited to 60' height in Zone D)
