In the EBF, AISC 341, Example 3.15 page 3-120

Why the redundancy factor "roh" was not considered in the load combinations even though it is given 1.3?

Mook,

The reason why is because "E" is replaced based on the expected shear capacity of the link along with 1.1*Ry.

This term is much like the overstrength factor "omega" for the system. In EBF systems, the link is so critical that most every strength is based on it's actual shear strength (as defined in section 15.2b.)

I hope this helps!

I got it.

Thanks Kevo for your help.
