SSpeter: You are amateur in the field Is cracks not clear sign of structural failure when it affects the structural members? Learn this today, lintel is not a structural member in a building a reason why it is not considered during design of structures......its main function is just for demarcation of windows and doors....the so called chained sometimes can lead to collapse of structures. Shalom. |

wink2015: The question is are the right building Engineers usually used? |

When everyone is now an engineer on site, both mason, iron bender, carpenter, all of these are claiming engineer on site now. |

Really sad. It's better to build slowly but building a house that will stand the test of time. |

greatiyk4u:Lintel is a structural member. The Lintel is a horizontal beam and not a demarcation. If you are good with your theory of structures you would have learnt about bending moments and shear force. I will reiterate that some cracks resulting from uneven settlement are not threatening. Cracks can even occur due to poor quality of mix. Cracks that are threatening are cracks due to stress from the live loads, external pressure (wind) and the dead loads (from poor structural calculations) those are the cracks that leads to shearing. Using the Lintel beam to make the building a monolithic structure is an effective way to make the structure stable . My area of expertise is project finance, however I took engineering courses in my undergrad days and I was very good at it |

SSpeter: Lintel is not a structural member Cracks is the same as shear You don't have deep knowledge of the words you use here Bending moment and shear force Monolithic structure Dead and live load Since na project finance you did, I wont argue further with you...... |

greatiyk4u:The beams and columns are structural members, a lintel is a beam. This is quite basic, I wonder the type of engineers we are raising this days. Cracks can occur due to flexural and shear stress that doesn't imply every crack will lead to shearing or simple cracks or settlement cracks will lead to shearing. These are basic 2D structures we are discussing here. Please don't go out and tell people that a Lintel is not a structural member so that you don't embarrass yourself. |

SSpeter: Lintel is not a beam so not a structural member Which one be 2D structures again? What is crack and what is shearing? In standard structures lintel run only across window and doors openings, shikena In bungalows without both columns and beams, what is the function of lintel there? Sincere ignorance is dangerous |

Man Crush Monday (MCM ). Feeling comes and goes, our actions or inactions can either kill or grow the feelings someone has for us .... Just buy data and popcorn because Today, We will be celebrating Men as We listen to what killed the feelings /interest they once had for a lady. Kindly drop the following information: Picture Name Location And what made you loose interest/feelings for a lady you once liked. Eg: Picture Pablo Fundz Abakaliki Found out she was cheating, she was always asking for one thing or another, etc 1 Like |

greatiyk4u:you don't know what a 2D structure is and you are an engineer? sorry I thought I was discussing with someone grounded in engineering. Let us end it here. |
