Single-angle loose lintel design
Single-angle loose lintel design
(OP)
I am wondering how others design single-angle loose lintels:
1. Use BIA tables?
2. Design for l/600 deflection and check fb<=0.6Fy?
3. Design per single-angle specification, accounting for eccentricity of load, torsion, tip deflection due to torsional rotation, etc?

If you need a joint, you can place one on one side only. The masonry will tend to arch to one side (although there still is no real arch action) and you can design the lintel for a triangular load, with the peak of the triangle at your control joint side. We usually use a 1:1 slope line to estimate the weight of the brick/block on the lintel.

I beleive the mathcad forum ishvaaag was referring to is
http://collab.mathsoft.com/~mathcad2000
Search under keyword "lintel" and it will come up.
I think he no longer visits these forums.
