(OP)
When designing a steel lintel that supports block and/or brick, the unsupported length of the compression flange is equal to the span of the lintel. The block with rebar and brick provide no support for the top flange. Is this correct?






RE: steel lintel design
"There is always some questions as to whether the wall furnishes adequate lateral support for the lintel. There is certainly little lateral support until the mortar has cured, and even after curing, the ability of the masonry to furnish lateral support to the lintel will depend upon its thickness and proximity to floors, roofs, pilasters, etc."
In my opinion, to be conservative, I would assume unsupported compression flange. Typically for lintels, the deflection will govern for openings larger than 6 feet anyway.
