I could swear the UBC used to have a "Masonry Wall Frame" lateral system. We cannot find it in the new IBC. This is where the narrow CMU wall piers combine with the CMU lintels to act as a moment frame. Does anyone know if this is a legitimate IBC lateral system or where some guidance on this can be found?
