A lintel is a horizontal member which is placed across the openings like doors, windows ete. in buildings. Lintels takes the load from the structure above it and provides support: Lintl is also a type beam, the width of which is equal to the width of wall, and the ends of which are built into the wall. These are very easy to construct as compared to arches. Bearing of linte ‘The bearing provided should be the minimum of following 3 cases. hips:theconstructor orgbuilingtype Minol- uses! 11420"?utm_source=pashengageBulm_medium=push_notficatongulm_camoaign=pushengage werr2p2017 Le: Types of Lines, their Functions ang Uses in Building Construction 1) 10 em, i) Height of tintel beam Ii) 1/10 to 1/12 of span of the lintel. Types of Lintels used in Building Construction LUntls are classified based on the material of construction as: 4. Timber lintel 2. Stone lintel 3. Brick lintel 4, Steel lintel 5. Reinforced concrete lintel 6, Reinforced brick lintel Timber Lintels In olden days of construction, Timber lintels were mostly used. But now a days they are replaced by several ‘modern techniques, however in hilly areas these are using. The main disadvantages with timber are more cost and less durable and vulnerable to fire If the length of opening is more, then lintel is provided by jointing multiple number of woaden pieces with the help of steel bolts which was shown in fig (a). In case of wider walls, lintel is composed of two wooden pieces kept at a distance with the help of packing pieces made of wood. Sometimes, timber lintels are strengthened by the provision of mild steel plates at their top and bottom, called as flitches lintels. hps:theconstructor orgfbuilinglypes-otsintes-ases!11420/2utm_source=pushengages.ulm_m Jum=push_notifcatongutm_campaign=pushengage 27err2p2017 hps:theconstructor orgfbuilinglypes-otsintes-ases!11420/2utm_source=pushengages.ulm_m Le: Types of Lines, their Funtions ang Uses in Buling Consiruction ESS > Soh ELEvarion 4 (a) Simple Lintel (b) Built-up Lintel Stone Lintels These are the most common types of lintels especially where stone is abundantly available, The thickness of these are most important factor of Its design. These are also provided over the openings in brick walls, Stone lintels are provided in the form of either one single piace or more than one piece. ‘The depth of this type is kept equal to 10 em / meter of span, with a minimum value of 15 em, They are used up to spans of 2 meters. In the structure is subjected to vibratory loads, cracks are formed in the stone lintel because ofits weak tensile nature, Hence caution is needed. Brick Lintels When the opening is tess than 1m and lesser loads are acting, brick lintels are used. The depth of brick intel varies from 10 cm to 20 cm, depending up on the span. Bricks with frogs are more suitable than normal bricks because frogs when filled with mortar gives more shear resistance of end joints. Such lintel is known as Joggled brick lintel Reinforced Brick Lintels Jum=push_notifcatongutm_campaign-pushengage 477err2p2017 Le: Types of Lines, their Functions ang Uses in Bulling Construction If loads are heavy and span Is greater than Im, then reinforced brick lintels are useful. The depth of reinforced brick lintel should be equal to 10 em or 15 em or multiple of 10 em. the bricks are so arranged that 2 to 3 em wide space is left length wise between adjacent bricks forthe insertion of mild steel bars as reinforcement. 1:3 ‘cement mortar is used to fil up the gaps. Vertical stirrups of 6 mm diameter are provided in every 3° vertical joint. Main reinforcement is provided at the bottom consists 8 to 10 mm ciameter bars, which are cranked up at the ends, (a) LONGITUDINAL SECTION (») ROSS SECTION Steel Lintels If the superimposed loads are heavy and openings are large then we can go for steel lintels. These lintels consist of channel sections or rolled steel Joists. We can use one single section or in combinations depending up on the requirement. When used singly, the steel joist is either embedded in concrete or clades with stone facing to keep the width same as width of wall, When more than one units are placed side by side, they are kept in position by tube separators Minels-ses/1142017uim_source=pushengage&utm_mediu 1ush_notiicalongutm_campaign-pushengege arerr2p2017 hps:theconstructor orgfbuilinglypes-otsntels-uses!11420/2utm,_source=pushengages.ulm_medium=push_nolifcatongum_campaign=pushengage Le: Types of Lines, their Funtions ang Uses in Buling Consiruction S.J. Line (a) Elevation (a) Concrete Emoedment Reinforced Cement Concrete Lintels [At present, the lintels of R.C.C are widely used to span the openings for doors, windows, etc. in a structure because of their strength, rigidity, fre resistance, economy and ease in construction, R.C.C lintels are suitable forall the loads and for any span. The width of lintel is equal to width of wall, Depth of lintel is dependent of length of span and magnitude of loading. Main reinforcement is provided at the bottom and half of these bars are cranked at the ends. Shear sticups are provided to resist transverse shear as shown in fig. =a (2) Longitudinal Section (9) Cross Section R.C.C lintel over @ window, along with chhajja projection is displayed in below fig. -R.CC.
