Lintel Design

The lintel beam has dimensions of 230x230 mm and is reinforced with 2 bars of 12 mm diameter on each side and 2 bars of 10 mm diameter on the top and bottom. The loading on the beam includes a brick wall load of 3.04 kN and the self-weight of the beam. The design calculations show that the beam has an ultimate positive bending capacity of 11.5 kNm and ultimate shear capacities of 21.0 kN without shear reinforcement and 38.8 kN with the minimum shear reinforcement of 8 mm bars at 625 mm spacing.

Shear rein. Bar size = 8 mm Legs = 2


Shear capacity with minimum shear reinforcement A sv pro. = 100.48 Spacing Req. = 200 mm

fVumin = 38.8 kN
