(OP)
hi all
 is it a common practise to use a steel beam for carrying brick walls ? if so what provisions should i follow?

RE: Brick wall on Steel beam

Yes, structural steel lintels are common. For general information, see the Brick Industry Association, Technical Note 31B "Structural Steel Lintels". Here is link to the Tech Note page http://www.bia.org/html/frmset_thnt.htm

Also check the appropriate building code.
