Answer» CORRECT option is (c) small portion of masonry LOAD above the opening To explain: Design loads for LINTELS are not well defined because it is not certain as how much load from masonry will come over lintel. It is assumed that after setting of mortar, load from masonry is distributed by arch action. Design of lintel is carried out for small portion of masonry load above the opening. |
