A braced frame assembly consists of vertical braced frame columns, horizontal braced frame beams, and diagonal buckling restrained braces. Protected zones are defined at the beam-to-column connections and along the brace lengths at typical dimensions of distance 'd' and 'L' divided by four. These designated zones indicate where special detailing and restrictions on welding, attachments, or penetrations apply for seismic performance. The configuration includes both upper and lower framing bays anchored at base plates.
