Masonry Lintel Design



This analysis is for a load bearing wall. The analysis is based on the height of the wall above the lintel less than 1/2 the opening width. This parameter results in no arching effect for either the wall dead load or the applied uniform load. The concentrated load is spread at the lintel.



Input Width of Opening in Feet
Input Height of Opening in Feet
Input Compressive Strength of Masonry (or Mortor) in psi
Input reinforcement tensile strength in psi
Input Thickness of wall in inches
Input weight of single block in lb/ft
Input thickness of the lintel in inches
Input the reinforcing cover for the lintel - in inches
Input the Wall height in feet
Input the applied uniform Dead Load load - in lbs/ft
Input the applied uniform Live Load - in lbs/ft
Input the Concentrated load - P in lbs
Input the location of the concentrated load - a in feet


The analysis will attempt to select the optimal lintel depth. If the analysis does not converge or you wish to specify a depth then input below. Note that if your depth is not adaquate the system will increase your depth. In the event the analysis does not converge, click the back button and increase the depth from the calculated value. If you want the system to calculate the optimum depth then leave the following textbox blank

Depth of Lintel
