NOT FOR DESIGN

The lintel is considered to be a simply-supported beam when calculating
the design forces using these specified loads.

Parameters for Load Calculations

Le = 47.63 in
Lintel W = 54.72 lb/ft
Wall W = 250.9 lb/ft
Arching was not used
Load combination 1.2(D + F) + 1.6(L + H) + 0.5Lr controlled moment
Load combination 1.2(D + F) + 1.6(L + H) + 0.5Lr controlled shear

Design Forces Used

Vu = 1,716 lbs (Computed from Loads)
Computed M at this V = 13,770 lb-in
Critical Location x = 0.140L

Shear Utilization Ratio = 42.32 percent

Mu = 28,664.7 lb-in (Computed from Loads)
Critical V at this M = 0. lb
Critical Location x = 0.500L

Material Strength Properties

fy = 60,000 psi (Specified)
Mortar: Portland cement lime / Mortar cement Type S, Coarse Grout
f'm = 1,500 psi (Specified)
Em = 900f'm = 1,350,000 psi

Required Cross-Sectional Dimensions
b = 7.625 in. (Specified)
NOT FOR DESIGN
x = 3.000 in. (Specified)
Cover = 3.000 in. (Specified)
h = 7.625 in. (1 courses used)
d = 4.375 in. (Computed for bars and dimensions specified)

Check Shear Capacity

Maximum Permitted Vu = øVnm = 4,053 lbs without stirrups
Maximum Permitted Vn = 9,007 lbs
OK -- Shear capacity is acceptable

Check Bearing Capacity

Maximum Reaction Force Rb = 2,415 lbs
Bearing Area Ab = 61.00 in2

Computed Bearing Stress fb = 39.60 psi
Allowable Bearing Stress Fb = 0.6(0.8f'm) = 720.0 psi

NOT FOR DESIGN

Bearing Stress is Acceptable

Compute Required Steel Area

Rn = Mu/0.9bd2 = [28,660/0.9]/[7.625(4.375)2] = 218.2 psi

(2Rn)/(0.8f'm) = [2(218.2)]/[0.8(1500)] = 0.3637
Rhoreq'd = [0.8(1500)/60,000][1-sqrt(1-0.3637)] = 0.004046
Rhomin = (4/3)Rhoreq'd = 0.00540 TMS 402-13 9.3.4.2.2.3
Rhomin = -0.000200 TMS 402-13 9.3.4.2.2.2 (based on 1.3M cr)
Rhomax = 0.00710
Use Rho = 0.00400
As = Rho(bd) = 0.135 sq.in (Required)

Use 1 #4 Bars (As Provided = 0.2 sq.in)

Maximum Mu capacity = 40,170 lb-in (for As provided)
