Methods of Test for Ancillary Components for Masonry: Determination of Flexural Resistance and Shear Resistance of Lintels
Also Known As:
BS EN 846-9:2016 is a standard that provides methods for testing the flexural resistance and shear resistance of lintels, which are used to support uniformly distributed loads over openings in masonry construction. This standard aims to determine the load deflection characteristics of single span, single or composite lintels.
The standard specifies the procedures and equipment required to carry out these tests accurately. It provides detailed guidelines on how to apply the load on the lintel and measure the resulting deflections.
By determining the flexural resistance and shear resistance of lintels, this standard helps ensure the structural integrity and safety of masonry construction. It enables manufacturers, designers, and construction professionals to assess the performance of lintels under different loading conditions.
