- LIMITATIONS:
THE LINTELS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ALLOWABLE DESIGN LOADS AND SPANS SHOWN IN THIS REPORT.THE LINTELS SHALL NOT BE USED IN A FIRE RESISTANCE RATED ASSEMBLY UNLESS A TEST REPORT DOCUMENTING FIRE RESISTANCE IS SUBMITTED TO THE BUILDING OFFICIAL.A PROPER BARRIER IS REQUIRED WHEN USING CORROSIVE LUMBER PRODUCTS IN CONTACT WITH THE STEEL LINTELS. A PROPER BARRIER WOULD BE A POLYETHYLENE BARRIER WITH A 10 MIL THICKNESS OR TO MAINTAIN A MIN. 1/4" SPACING BETWEEN THE CORROSIVE LUMBER AND STEEL LINTEL.
NOT FOR USE IN THE HVHZ IN MIAMI OR BROWARD COUNTIES AT THIS TIME.
MIAMI DADE COMPLIANCE IS BEING SOUGHT.
- ALLOWABLE LOADS SHOWN IN THE TABLES FOR UPLIFT AND LATERAL LOAD CAPACITY INCLUDE A 1/3 INCREASE FOR WIND OR SEISMIC LOADING WITH NO FURTHER INCREASE ALLOWED. TABLE VALUES SHOULD BE USED WITH ALTERNATE ALLOWABLE STRESS COMBINATIONS WITH A W OF 1.3. OTHERWISE REDUCE TABLE VALUES FOR ALLOWABLE STRESS COMBINATION BY 1/3. IF COMBINED LOADING CONDITIONS ARE APPLIED TO THE LINTELS FOR SIMULTANEOUS LOADING DIRECTIONS, THE ALLOWABLE LOADS SHOWN IN THE TABLES MUST BE ADJUSTED USING A UNITY EQUATION.
- ALL LOADS SHOWN IN TABLES ARE SUPERIMPOSED LOADS. TABLES ARE DATED 01/2021 AND CLEARLY INDICATE SUPERIMPOSED LOADS.
- A #5 REINFORCING BAR(S) GRADE 40 IS TO SET APPROX. 1-1/2" FROM TOP OF ALL LINTEL DESIGNS AND IN SOME CASES ON THE BOTTOM OF LINTEL AS SHOWN ON LOAD TABLES. TOP HORIZONTAL REINFORCEMENT IS TO BE A CONTINUOUS TIE AS NOTED IN NOTE #9.
