Re: Steel Building Design

If you are looking in Table 15.2 you are not dealing with a building.

Table 15.4-1 for OMF with R=2.5 with increased height point to detail requirement AISC 341 (Seismic Steel provisions). In the AISC 341 state that this not applicable to buildings with R equal or less than 3. Therefore, the detail requirement default to AISC 360 (Standard Steel specifiactions 13th edition). It seems to be a disagreement between the AISC and the ASCE.
 
Does anybody has additional information to this matter?
 
Thanks
