Brick Veneer Height Limitations
Brick Veneer Height Limitations

They have notes on breek veneer with wood framing.

Or check the new IBC 2000, Sections 2304.12 and 2305.1.5.
If the brick is supported by concrete foundations and the wood is only laterally supporting the masonry, then you need to keep the lateral deflection less than L/600 in wall studs. The brick will then support its own weight and there will be little, if any, flexural stresses in the brick due to lateral forces.
You simply need to check the axial stress in the brick. This is dealt with by the Brick Institute Specifications.
