Are there any special detailing requirements for the connection to transfer both gravity loads and axial thru force. I am just checking the shear tab connection for gravity loads(shear) and the axial thru force it will dump into the braced beam. Is that enough ? As long as the connection works, can I rationalize by saying ,it will pass that load directly into the braced beam thru the HSS column ? The collector members pushes the column , which in-turn pushes the force into the braced beam ?
Or do I need to design it as a Moment connection to provide a continuous load path between collector beam to braced beam via the column
