The applicable building code specifies the use of ASCE/ISEI 7 for

calculation of loads. The required strengths at the face of the column and
the centerline of the Beam in question are determined by a second order
analysis including the effects of P and P with reduced stiffness as
required by the direct analysis method .
The governing load combinations for the required flexural and shear
strength at the face of the column are:

Output
From AISC Seismic Provisions Table D 1.1, for webs of rolled I-shaped
sections used as beams or columns, recognizingtbat Ca = Pu/(Pn) is
assumed to be zero because no axial force is present for the beam, the
limiting width-to-thickness ratio is:

THE WEB SATISFIES THE REQUIREMENT FOR HIGHLY DUCTILE

Spacing Of lateral Bracing :
AISC Seismic Provision section D1.2b Requires that both flanges be
Laterally Braced at interavls not to exceed lbmax :
