Brick Wall between Steel columns

(OP)
Hi all
 
 i have a steel turss supported by steel columns this columns are connected toghter using X-bracing system and Horizonal steel beams at its mid-height, my question is there a way to arrange brick wall between this columns where this wall will be interrupted by the X-bracing?

RE: 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.
