Masonry Bearing Stress

[akastud]

Does anyone know where I can find The Allowable Bearing Stress for masonry in the IBC? I cannot find the old 0.26 f'm / 0.38 f'm from the UBC in the new IBC codes. Am I missing something?

Via IBC 2000, Section 2107.1 - design of ASD for masonry is per ACI 530.

In ACI 530 - Section 2.1.9.2 - the bearing stress is given as 0.25 f'm.

The IBC is moving more and more to a code that references external standards...such as ACI 318 for concrete, AISC Specifications for steel, etc.
