Introduction:

In building construction, lintel slabs play a crucial role in supporting the wall opening areas such as doors and windows. A lintel is a horizontal structural member placed above the openings to bear the load from the structure above. It transfers this load to the adjacent masonry or RCC elements and prevents stress concentration around openings.

🧱 Purpose of Lintel Slab:

To bear the load above window/door openings
To distribute the structural load away from the openings
To enhance the integrity and seismic resistance of masonry walls
Often combined with a continuous RCC belt for earthquake-prone areas

📐 Typical Lintel Slab Layout Features:

Thickness: Usually ranges from 100 mm to 150 mm depending on span and load
Depth of Lintel Beam: Typically 150 mm to 300 mm
Width: Matches wall thickness (generally 230 mm, 300 mm, or 450 mm)
Reinforcement:
- Main bars: 2 or 3 bars of 10mm or 12mm dia (Fe500)
- Stirrups: 6mm/8mm dia @ 150mm c/c spacing
- Distribution bars: 8mm dia @ 150mm c/c
