Required Brace Connection Tensile Strength (OCBF & SCBF)

R_{y} \cdot F_{y} \cdot A_{g} / α_{s}

R_y	Ratio of expected yield stress to the specified minimum yield stress
F_y	Specified minimum yield stress
A_g	Gross area of brace
α_s	LRFD-ASD force level adjustment factor = 1.0 for LRFD and 1.5 for ASD
