I need to solidify my understanding of Table 1617.6 in IBC 2000. Specifically, under seismic systems 'Bearing Wall Systems' item 'A' is listed as 'Ordinatry Braced Frames.' I understand this to include common steel stud walls with tension bracing. Does it extend beyond that to any other type of steel construction?
