Brick Wall between Steel columns

If using a brick veener wall with metal stud backup, the metal studs can span from floor to brace, brace to beam, etc. The beam and braces then have to be designed to carry out of plane lateral (wind, seismic, etc.) loads transfered from the metal studs. It is often convenient to use tubes or wide flanges for the studs to bear on.
