    "R" value for tension only bracing in steel frames buildings

    What "R" value (overstrength/ductility coefficient) per '97 UBC would I use for the seismic design of a steel framed building (typ 1 story metal bldg)in the opposite direction of the moment frames, where tension only bracing is used to resist lateral forces. Thanks!
