When attaching angle iron to support a masonry veneer on a four story building, how is it fastened to the building structure?

At the top of grade level foundation wall only.
At the top of foundation wall and midpoint of the building.
At the top of foundation wall and every other floor level.
At the top of foundation wall and at each floor level.

The correct answer is: At the top of foundation wall and at each floor level.

In this case, option A is incorrect because attaching angle iron only at the top of grade level foundation wall would not provide enough support for a four story building. Option B is not the best choice because attaching the angle iron only at the midpoint of the building would not distribute the weight evenly and could potentially cause instability. Option C is not the most efficient choice because attaching the angle iron every other floor level would not provide enough support for the weight of the masonry veneer. Therefore, the best choice is to attach the angle iron at the top of foundation wall and at each floor level, as it provides proper support and ensures stability for the building.
