    The document discusses the design of concrete lintels above openings in walls. It describes 5 cases for calculating the load transferred to the lintel based on the length of the wall on either side of the opening. It then provides an example problem calculating the design of a reinforced concrete lintel above a window opening, including determining the load based on the wall and slab weights and dimensions. The maximum bending moment is calculated as 38.117 x 106 N-m. The required depth is checked at 382 mm.

    Design of Concrete Structures Lintels 1

    Lintels

    A lintel may be defined as a beam provided over an opening for door, window, cupboard etc., in
    a wall. It serves to bridge the gap of the opening and it permits the construction of wall above.

    The computation of load for design of lintel can be broadly divided in the following categories:

    Case 1: When length of the wall on either side of the


    opening is more than half the effective span of the lintel.

    In this case, it is assumed that because of arch action 600 600


    developed within the masonry above the opening, only
    the weight of masonry contained in an equilateral
    triangle having base length equal to the effective span, is >L/2 L >L/2
    transferred on the lintel.
    l

    Case 2: When the length of wall on one side of the opening


    is less than half the effective span of the lintel.

    In this case, the load transferred to the lintel is taken equal to


    L
    the weight of the masonry contained in a rectangle of height
    equal to the effective span.

    <L/2 L >L/2

    Case 3: When the length of wall on both sides of the


    opening is less than the half of the effective span of lintel.

    In this case, the load transferred to the lintel is taken equal to


    the weight of masonry contained in a rectangle having width
    equal to effective span and height equal to the full height of
    the wall above.
    <L/2 L <L/2

    Case 4: When the wall above the lintel has opening.

    In this case, the load transferred to the lintel is taken


    equal to the weight of masonry contained in the area 600 600
    formed by drawing the dispersion lined at 600 from the
    top edges of the openings as shown in figure. 600 600

    Case 5: When a slab transfers load to lintel.

    In this case, the load transferred is taken to be equal to


    the sum of the weight of masonry contained in the
    rectangle above the opening up to the top of the parapet 600
    600
    wall and the weight of the slab, lime concrete and the
    self-weight of lintel.

    Problems: Figure shows plan and section of a room. Design a RCC lintel over the window
    openings. Following data may be assumed:
    (1)
    fC = 5 MPa, fS = 140 MPa, n = 19, k = 0.404
    (2)
    Weight of L.C = 19,200 N/m2
    (3)
    Superimposed load on RCC slab = 2000 N/m2

    Part of Plan

    Solution:
    Assume, total depth of lintel = 450 mm, i.e. size of the lintel is 450 mm x 300 mm.
    Let, bearing of the lintel at each end = 300 mm
    effective span length = 2.7 + 0.3 = 3.0 m
    l
    height of triangle, h tan 60 0 = 2.598 m > 2.2 m.
    2
    Hence, rectangular loading is selected.
    Load calculation:
    1. Load due to weight of wall = [(2.2-0.45) + 0.3 + 0.1 + 0.15 ] x 0.3 x 19200 = 13248 N/m
    2. Load due to self-weight of lintel = 0.45 x 0.3 x 25000 = 3375 N/m

    3. Load due to lime concrete (LC) = 0.1 x x 19200 = 4320
