Moment amplification is covered in chapter C of the AISC code.
Two amplification factors are used in LRFD:-
A) * One to account for amplification due to deflection.
B) * One to account for amplification due to frame
sideway to lateral forces in unbraced frames.

Evaluation of Cm Factor
2. For transversely loaded members, Cm can be taken as 0.85 if the ends are
restrained against rotation and 1.0 if the ends are unrestrained against rotation
(pinned). End restraint will usually result from the stiffness of members
connected to the beam-column. The pinned end condition is the one used in the
derivation of the amplification factor; hence there is no reduction for this case,
which corresponds to Cm = 1.0. Although the actual end condition may lie
between full fixity and a frictionless pin, use of one of the two values given here
will give satisfactory results.
