Masonry Lintel Design (MSJC)

This document summarizes the design of a masonry lintel to resist bending and shear forces according to MSJC 2011 standards. Key details include a No. 5 reinforcing bar, lintel depth of 16 inches, design bending moment of 3.6 kip-ft, and design shear force of 2 kips. Calculations show the lintel design satisfies requirements for reinforcement and masonry stresses due to bending and shear.
