Reinforced Concrete Masonry Lintel Design example

Design code:
ACI 530 - 05 Building Code Requirements for Masonry Structures

Design data:
Design load: W = 1000 lb/ft Length of lintel opening: L = 8 ft Depth of lintel: D = 24 in Thickness of wall: 8 inch nominal Compressive strength of masonry: f'm = 1500 psi Yield strength of steel reinforcement: fy = 60000 psi

Requirement:

Requirement:
Design reinforcement for masonry lintel

Solution:
1. Design flexural reinforcement Calculate design moment: M = WL2/8 = 8000 lb-ft Actual Thickness of wall: b = 7.625 in. Effective depth: d = 24 in -7.625 in /2 = 20.187 in Elastic modulus of concrete masonry: Em = 900 f'm = (900)(1500 psi)/1000 = 1350 ksi Elastic modulus of steel: Es = 29000 ksi Transformation factor: n = Es / Em = 21.5 Try one #5 bar, reinforcement area, As = 0.3 in2. Reinforcement ratio r = As /bd = (0.3)/(7.625)(20.187) = 0.002 Calculate Factor, k = [2 r n + (r n)2 ] - r n = 0.251 Calculate Factor j = 1 - k/3 = 0.916 Check Tensile stress in steel, fs = M / (As j d )= 17.3 ksi Allowable tensile stress: Fs = 24000 psi O.K.

Check Stress in masonry: fc = 2 M / (bd2jk) = 269 psi Allowable stress in masonry: Fc = f'm /3 = 500 psi O.K.

Check shear stress:

Calculate shear force: V = W L /2 = 4100 lbs Shear stress: fv = V/bd = 26 psi Allowable shear stress, Fv = f'm = 38.7 psi O.K.
