over entryways, doors, windows, and chimneys. On
account of windows, the base range is rather
alluded to as a ledge, at the same time, in
contrast to a lintel, doesn't serve to hold up
under a heap to guarantee the uprightness of the
divider. Cutting edge lintels are made utilizing
prestressed concrete and are additionally alluded
to as bars in bar and block chunks or ribs in rib
and block sections. These prestressed concrete
lintels and blocks, Construction material are
parts that are pressed together and propped to
shape a suspended floor concrete slab. Types of
Lintel Depending on the costing and availability
of materials, different materials are used for
lintel construction. Lintels are classified into
the following types according to the elements of
their development

lintel 1. Timber Lintel  In olden days of
construction, Timber frame lintels were for the
most part utilized. In any case, presently days
they are supplanted by a few current methods,
anyway, in bumpy zones, these are utilizing. The
fundamental disservices with timber are more
expensive and less sturdy and defenceless against
fire. If the length of the opening is increasing,
at that point it is given by joining different
quantities of wooden pieces with the assistance
of steel jolts. In the event of more extensive
dividers, it is made out of two wooden pieces
avoided as much as possible with the assistance
of pressing pieces made of wood. Once in a while,
these are reinforced by the arrangement of gentle
steel plates at their top and base, called
flitched lintels.

2. Stone Lintel Rectangular bits of stone can be
used as a lintel. This sort of solid wall lintel
is for the most part utilized here where the
stone is amply open. In case the length of the
opening is long, by at that point, regardless,
two bits of timber are joined to give the lintel
everything thought about openings. They are only
utilized in bumpy structures as they weigh
excessively and due to the non-accessibility of
different materials for their development. Its
utilization is will undoubtedly stone workmanship
structures. Stone lintels must be used by a
comprehension of the trademark layering. The
thickness of the stone lintel is a noteworthy
factor for its plan. As a thumb rule, the
thickness is taken as 4 cm. Per 30cm length of
the range and the base thickness ought to be 8
cm. Such a lintel will be firm and strong. 3.
Reinforced Concrete Lintel At present,
reinforced concrete lintels installation are
normally being used. In this sort, support is
utilized to conquer the low flexible issue in
concrete. They are created in present-day
structures. They are reasonable for substantial

kept around up to 8 centimetres for each meter.
RCC lintels can be either precast or thrown
in-situ. By and large, precast reinforced

4. Brick lintel  These are utilized when the
opening is under 1m and lesser burdens are
acting. Its profundity shifts from 10 cm to 20
cm, depending upon the range. Bricks with frogs
are more reasonable than typical bricks since
frogs when loaded up with mortar gives more sheer
obstruction of end joints which is known as a
joggled brick lintel. 5. Reinforced Brick
Lintels  Heavy loadings and more substantial
span length are the problems for brick lintels.
These can be overwhelmed by utilizing the
reinforcement bars. Reinforced brick lintels in
this manner offer more help than the brick
lintels. The profundity of the reinforced brick
lintels is equivalent to 10 cm. or on the other
hand different of 10 cm (or one brick thickness).
The course of action of the bricks ought to be
with the end goal that there is sufficient space
in the long way between the neighbouring bricks
for the addition of gentle steel bars as
reinforcement. After inclusion bars, the rest of
the hole is loaded up with 13 concrete mortar. 6

  lintels because of substantial burdens. These
  lintels comprise of channel segments or moved
  steel joists or channel areas either utilized
  independently or in the blend of a few units.
  Contingent on the necessities, the lintel can be
  a solitary area or blends of at least two. Single
  steel joist is either implanted in concrete or
  cladded with stone looking to keep a similar
  width as the divider. Blend of at least two units
  is set one next to the other and held in position
  by tube separator. Alleviating with water is
