摘要 |
A composite lintel structure (1) is disclosed for spanning openings in a building structure and for supporting building materials thereon. The composite lintel structure (1) has a vertical leg (20) for affixation to a building structure and a horizontal leg (10) for placement of one or more courses of building materials thereon. The materials of construction of the lintel structure (1) are preferably selected from composites that are moisture impermeable and corrosion resistant. The lintel structure I may also comprise one or more stiffeners (30) rigidly or adjustably attached between the horizontal (10) and vertical legs (20) to accommodate load transference from the horizontal leg (10) to the vertical leg (20) of the lintel structure (1).
