Thank you for the responses, the 33' limit is what we found in ACI-530. We have not determined exactly where the releiving angles will go yet, but we are thiniking we will need one at the 3rd floor level, and 4th floor level. As the code also recommends only 12' tall of brick when supported on wood framing. Part of our concern is that the floor is going to be constructed with wood trusses (top chord bearing), and due to the span we need the full width of the wall to make the bearing work, so we will only have a single or most likely a double ribbion board inbetween the trusses. focuseng you siad that you have used lag screws before, our concern woth lags is that over time they could rip out of the wood as it expands and contracts. Our thought was to use thur-bolts, but since the holes are slightly bigger than the bolts, we are concerned that the angle is going to rotate with and the wood expands and contracts. one though was wo us LSL ribbons as these are more stable and will experiance less expansion and contractions, thus leading to a better connect. typically when we have a situation like this we put a steel frame on the first floor and pick up the brick from there, since when support on steel code allows up to 30' tall, but this architects hates using steel for anything but first floor framing between the garage and 1st floor.
