9.20.5.2. — Lintels or Arches

(1) Masonry over openings shall be supported by steel, reinforced concrete lintels or masonry arches designed to support the imposed loads.

(2) Except as permitted in Sentences (3) and (6), steel angle lintels supporting masonry above openings shall conform to Table 9.20.5.2.A.

(3) Steel angle lintels supporting masonry veneer above openings shall conform to Table 9.20.5.2.B.

(4) Steel lintels described in Sentences (2) and (3) shall,

(a) have even and level bearing and shall have not less than 150 mm length of bearing at end supports, and

(b) bear on masonry, concrete or steel.

(5) Steel angle lintels supporting masonry shall be primed or painted or otherwise protected from corrosion.

(6) Steel beams supporting masonry veneer and wood stud walls above openings shall conform to Table 9.20.5.2.C.

(7) Steel beams described in Sentence (6) shall be supported at each end by a steel column, and have a minimum 6 mm plate welded to the flange to support the masonry veneer.

Notes toTable 9.20.5.2.C.:

(1) These spans assume that the beam supports the veneer, a wood stud wall and a maximum specified roof live load of 2.3 kN/m.

(2) Where the steel beam carries floor loads or larger roof loads, refer to Article 9.23.4.3.v1

Editor's note

This map follows the as-filed text of O. Reg. 350/06, whose notes to Table 9.20.5.2.c. read '(1) these spans ...' (with a space after the note number) and whose steel-angle dimensions use the letter 'x' (e.g. '82 x 250'). The e-Laws consolidation editorially renders these as '(1)these' (no space) and with the multiplication sign '×'; no amending regulation makes these changes.

Notes to Table 9.20.5.2.A.:

⁽¹⁾See Sentence 9.20.5.2.(4).

⁽²⁾Omit floor load in lintel when distance to bottom of floor construction is greater than width of opening.

⁽³⁾Interior and exterior angles in 200 mm walls and interior angles in 300 mm walls are bolted together when clear span is over 1 800 mm.

⁽⁴⁾When masonry lighter than brick is used over interior angles floor load may be increased by the difference in weight per square metre times the width of the opening. Not generally available.

⁽⁵⁾Interior angles have been designed for floor load plus brick masonry of height equal to width of opening.

⁽⁶⁾fs = 138 Mpa., Deflection maximum = 1/700 span.

⁽⁷⁾The figures in the Table indicating wall thickness and angle cross-section are in mm.
