I am finishing CD's on a project (2 story steel brace bldg) where the majority of the exterior walls are clad in brick (4" nominal). Lots of ribbon windows and punched openings. 16ft floor-to-floor heights.
What have others done- metal studs braced back to the diaphragm, or a secondary structural steel system?
Thanks for any input.
