This document provides information on post-lintel structures. It describes post-lintel structures as a simple form of construction using posts carrying horizontal beams or lintels. Ancient Egyptian and Greek architecture commonly used this type of construction with stone. It then discusses the different structural elements of post-lintel structures including columns, column footings, beams, slabs, and stairs. It provides details on sizing and reinforcement of these elements. The document also outlines some advantages of post-lintel structures such as aesthetics, span and space, cost, and sustainability. It describes limitations related to solid to void ratios and placement of openings and stairs.

3. POST & LINTEL
Simple form of construction
involving posts carrying horizontal
beams or lintels, as in timber-
framed work or in columnar and
trabeated architecture.
Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Greek
architecture was of this type, using
stone.
Stonehenge is an example of post
and lintel construction

5. POST & LINTEL SYSTEM
 Post Lintel is a Frame structure
 Use of Concrete Materials, Mixing of aggregate,
gravel, sand, Cement with water.
 It may be lightweight or heavy weight structure.
 Mixing ratio: 1:2:4, 1:3:6 & 1:1.5:3 etc
 In more recent time it has been found possible to
produce steels. According to many codes &
specifications such as 80ksi, 60ksi, & 40ksi etc.
 60ksi steel is most commonly used.

6. FOUNDATION
The foundation is the part of a structure
that is usually placed below the surface
of the ground & that transmits the load
to the underlying soil or rock.

7. FOUNDATION TYPE

• Wall Footing
- R.C Wall

11. DOUBLE HEIGHT COLUMN THICKNESS
POST-LINTESTRUCTURE
Double height column depends on slender test of
column or effective length of column buckling For
member with h/t up to 10 (approximately h/r up to
35) For column with h/t = 20 (approximately h/r up
to 70) R became 0.07
Team roll of dabble height column thickness, If
column length is upward for axial load then column
section is enlarge for a column.

12. BEAM
The beam is a very sturdy structure. A beam is a
horizontal pole. It is usually shaped as a rectangle so
there is more balance between the poles. A beam is
held up by one or two columns. If there are two
columns, they are placed on either side of the beam.
If there is one column, it is placed in the middle of
the beam so each side is balanced. Beams are found
in many places - in buildings, in homes, and in
moving structures.

There are two type of slab use in post lintel structural
system
One-way slab
A one-way slab is essentially a rectangular beam of comparative
large ratio of width depth. And steel use to short direction of slab.

 Post & lintels are shown as frame
structures. But columns & louvers.
 Solid & void relationship is less.
 The invert beam can be seen from above.
 Presence of continuous beam
 Columns are placed along the age of the

28. POST-LINTE ADVANTAGES
POST-LINTESTRUCTURE
AESTHETICS
Aesthetically this structural system seems quite sound by using
the expression of post-lintel structure in the exterior facades.
Sometimes the heavy or rigid masses are treated politely by
using the framework of the post-lintel which gives an extra
ordinary looks.
SPAN & SPACE
Larger span (column to column distance) of building is possible
to design in this system.
For the large span the lintel height become larger for this a large
space seems small, as the lacking of clear height.
Sometimes this problem creates visual disturbance, which is
avoided, in flat slab.

29. POST-LINTE ADVANTAGES
POST-LINTESTRUCTURE
ECONOMIC
The construction cost of this system is slightly high for the time
consuming casting of beam and slab and the use of R.C.C.
The maintenance cost of this system remains lower than the other
structural system for its long lasting characteristics.
CLIMATE
Considering the climate this system is more suitable for our country.
The admission of heat become reduced in this system, as the heat
transferred from the slab to beam and then from the beam to floor.
The control of openings admits the little amount of heat in the
building.
For the free flowing plan light and ventilation can easily insert the
building.

30. POST-LINTE ADVANTAGES
POST-LINTESTRUCTURE
ENVIRONMENT
This structural system having less self-loads which reduces the risk of
danger of earth quack.
It can resist the buckling or bending effect of the building from the strong
wind flow.
It has the capability of fire resistance for the construction material (R.C.C.).
So this system is very much suiting with respect to our environment.
CONSTRUCTION TECHNICS
In this structural system construction process takes a long time for the
casting of beam and slab because at first column and beam cast and after
that the slab cast.
High cost materials are used in this system.
In post-lintel system ducting process is not so easier compared to Post-slab.

31. POST-LINTE ADVANTAGES
POST-LINTESTRUCTURE
OPENNINGS
In post-lintel system 50% area of the external facade is remaining for
the openings of the building. For this there is a control over use of
openings. The admass of light and ventilation is smaller compared to
post-slab.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability means the ultimate capacity of individual members and
as well as the whole structure against any types of overloading such as
cyclones, earth quacks, etc. Sustainability of structures may also
termed as factor of safety because overloading is allowed only up to
the safety level which was taken in considering at the time of design.
Stability of any structure is the critical point of failure. If stability is
not satisfied it limits the values, then the failure may come suddenly.
This system has less possibility of failure than the other structural
system.

32. POST-LINTE ADVANTAGES
POST-LINTESTRUCTURE
FLOOR SLAB
Floor slab is a slab supported on ground generally distribute load to
the ground uniformly. It also increases the bearing capacity of soil as
the load distributes combined.
SOLID-VOID RATIO
By using the framework of post-lintel system we can make a sense full
solid-void ratio which illuminate the monotonous effect.
CANTILEVER OR OVERHANG
The portion of any structure that is over hanged without any support
termed as cantilever. Sometimes cantilever construction is economical
and looks aesthetically attractive which may become a useful part of
that structure.

33. Limitation
 Extreme variation of solid & is not possible.
 Opening should be place considering the post.
 Stair must start with respect to a beam.
 Building height increases for the beam to get clear
Space.
 Also duct for air conditioning are used under beam, so
floor height increases which is not acceptable for height.
 This system more costly (30%more)than wall slab
system.
 But economic range can be kept in a lower gird when
the span is limited 15’ to 25’.
 Uninterrupted vast space can not be created without
using vault dome or waffle.
