Combined Wood and Steel Moment Frame

Combined Wood and Steel Moment Frame

Combined Wood and Steel Moment Frame

(OP)
I am working on an existing structure from the 80's which used steel tube columns and doubled light wood trusses designed for end moments. The columns have big flag plates welded to the top, and the top and bottom chords of the trusses are bolted to it.

We have to modify this structure. We are moving columns and likely will build similar stick-built trusses to deliver the lateral loads to the new column locations. This is low-risk structure - an open sided drive-up canopy. What seismic LFRS would you consider this to be? I believe I would called it "Timber Frame" (ASCE 7 Table 12.2-1 G.6.)

RE: Combined Wood and Steel Moment Frame

That sounds like it might be an "other" and a non building structure. R=1¿?
