Steel Beam to core-filled reinforced brick piers

[UpsideDown]

I have a big opening that I am gonna use steel beam for it. The supports on both end will be 350x350 brick piers. I am going to core-fill it with reinforcement so the 'steel beam - brick pier' can resist lateral load. Now I am wondering what connection is okay for steel beam to brick piers. I am thinking simply use non-shrink grout plus a 110x300 bearing plate for steel beam to sit on brick piers (shear of beam at end will be 100kN Max). Does this seem okay?

How big is the opening? Have you thought about using a reinforced masonry lintel? The connections would be so much easier with masonry to masonry. A paper at the recent North American Masonry Conference showed an example of a 48' (14 m) reinforced masonry lintel on a school project in Seattle. This was for concrete masonry, but you might be able to do this with hollow clay maaonry.
