    Lintel Beam

    Uploaded by

    Anonymous nwByj9L
    A lintel is a structural beam above an opening in a masonry wall that carries the load of the wall above it. The size of the lintel depends on the width of the wall and the span of the opening. A minimum of 200mm bearing is required at each end of the lintel. Reinforcement requirements increase with larger spans and loads, with rebar sizes ranging from 8mm to 16mm and stirrup spacing from 100mm to 250mm depending on the span. The load on the lintel includes the weight of masonry above it and any slabs above, and the bending moment calculation considers cases where the wall height is greater than or less than the equilateral triangle formed by the lintel span

    LINTEL BEAM Lintel is a structural member provided above the openings in masonry walls to carry masonry and other

    loads coming over it. Size of Lintel : Width : Width equal to width of wall. Depth : Usually taken as span 12 rounded to the brick layer size (e.g) one brick

    layer of traditional brick masonry measures 76 mm + 12 mm mortar. Then for a lintel, for a width of opening up to 900 mm, one layer thickness can be adopted. Thumb rule : Span Up to 1.20 m Bearing : A minimum of 200 mm nominal bearing shall be provided for all lintels. This should be increased for larger spans or heavy loads. Thumb rule: Span 0.8 to 2.40 m 2.50 to 4.20 m 4.30 to 6.00 m Reinforcement : Since the lintels are of minor structural importance, the minimum requirements of reinforcement specified for beams need not be strictly compiled with in lintels. Wall thickness 100 mm ( brick) 200 mm (1 brick ) 300 mm (1 brick) Thumb rule : For spans up to 1.20 m 2 Nos. 8 RTS is enough for one brick wall. Span Up to 1.0 m 1.0 1.20 2.0 - 1.20 m - 2.0 m 3.0 m Type of rods to be used 6 MS 8 RTS 10 RTS 12 RTS No. of rods usually provided 2 3 4 Bearing 200 mm 300 mm 400 mm Lintel depth 150 mm

    For additional 30 cm span add 2.5 cm in addition to the above thickness.

    Hanger bars : 2 Nos. 6 MS or 8 RTS Stirrups : 6 MS 2 legged stirrups at 150 mm to 300 mm C/C. DESIGN ASPECTS : i) Assume depth of lintel = span to 10 span 12

    ii) Effective span = clear span + d or C/C of support (bearing) whichever is less. iii) Loading : The lintel carries only dead load and imposed load (fixed), and very rarely it carries an imposed load (not fixed). iv) Bending moment : Case- 1: When there is sufficient height of wall above opening i.e., h > 0.866 l This is most general case. In this case it is assumed that because of arch action in masonry, only weight of masonry contained within equilateral triangle of sides equal to effective span, acts as load in addition to self weight of lintel.

    Height of triangle h= tan 60 x l/2 x 0.866 l Load on lintel wt = weight of triangular portion of masonry = x ( 0.866 x t) x b x unit weight of masonry where b = width of masonry wall. Self weight of lintel/ m ws = 1 x b x t x 25 KN/m B.M = wt x l 6 + ws x l 8
    2

    Case -2 : When slab falls within the triangle :

    When a floor slab or roof slab lies within the dispersion triangle, it transmits only the load falling within the triangle. B.M. = B.M. due to triangular masonry weight + B.M. due to load w1/m transmitted by slab+ B.M. due to self weight of lintel. 2 2 = wt x l + [ RA l - w1 x ] + ws x l 6 2 8 8 Case- 3 : When the height of the wall above lintel is less than the height of the equilateral triangle :

    In this case, rectangular masonry loading above the lintel up to top level of masonry and also load transmitted from slab are taken.

    Total load is due to rectangular masonry loading w1 + load transmitted from slab+ load due to self weight of lintel ws B.M. = wt x l 6 + wt x l 2 + [ RA l 8 - w1 x
