History - Origins
Materials
Framed structured
Advantages / Disadvantages
The job of the Post is to support the lintel and its loads without crushing or buckling
A characteristic for this piece is that the material must be especially strong in compression.
The post breaks when the material is too weak or is too long.
POST
The job of the lintel is to bear the loads that rest on it (and its own load) without deforming or breaking.
When the lintel breaks is only when the material is too weak or the lintel is too long.
LINTEL
The post and lintel system is the simplest method of load and support in the area of construction.
POST AND LINTEL SYSTEM
- Post -
Lintel
Consists in: Two vertical elements (posts, columns, piers) holding a third member (lintel, beam) laid horizontally across their top surfaces
HISTORY - ORIGINS
Prehistoric times
Egyptian temples
Greek and Roman temples
Post• Stone• Wood• Iron • Reinforced concrete
• Steel • Masonry
Lintel
• Steel • Stone (short)
• Reinforced concrete
• Wood
MATERIAL
Is a skeleton able to stand by itself without depending on floors or walls, it is essential the use of:
SlabsBeamsColumnsFoundation
These elements are connected to each other, so that it behaves as one unit.
FRAMED STRUCTURE
Best materials for framing
WoodSteelReinforced concrete
Masonry
FRAMED STRUCTURE
Advantages Simplicity It reduces the building time of
the structure Stability Durable Resistant structures Stable
Disadvantages It can support limited weight The short distance between the
posts to support the lintel
ADVANTAGES - DISADVANTAGES
Post and lintel originated the framed structures we use nowadays.
This structure gives the possibility to use different materials, forms and size to compose this kind of structures.
Architects and engineers often use de framed structures because of the all advantages
These building technique have been used since the first civilizations
Nowadays the structural system is maintained with the evolution of better and more resistant methods
