The section is checked assuming that all the pieces of the beam/lintel act together as a load sharing system. The pieces must
be connected together in such a manner to ensure this is achieved.

Deflection check

The deflection calculated includes for shear deflection and is based on the following material properties which incorporate
modification factors K and K as appropriate.
2 9
- Young's modulus - E = 6612 N/mm2
- Shear modulus - G = 413 N/mm2
- Shape factor - F = 1.2 (for rectangular sections)

and section properties of

- Area - A = 900 cm2
- Mom. of inertia - I = 67600 cm4

The maximum calculated deflection is 1.7 mm, which does not exceed the allowable deflection, determined from the span ratio
( 0.003 xspan ), of 6 mm.
