1、Designation: C1623 17aStandard Specification forManufactured Concrete Masonry Lintels1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1623; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in

2、 parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers concrete masonry lintels(beams) that are solid in cross-section, are reinforced forflexure, and are made from hydraul

3、ic cement, water, andmineral aggregates with or without the inclusion of othermaterials. These lintels are suitable for both loadbearing andnonloadbearing applications.NOTE 1This specification covers only concrete masonry lintelscontaining reinforcement. Due to building code imposed limitations on t

4、hedesign of masonry lintels, all lintels must contain reinforcement. Concretemasonry lintels are not typically manufactured using shear reinforcement(stirrups or other vertical reinforcement). Therefore, this standard does notaddress issues related to such. For further guidance, refer to Building Co

Prestressed concretelintels are not covered by this standard.1.2 Lintels are manufactured using a no-slump concrete mixto provide a surface texture similar to that of concrete masonry.This specification applies to both machine-made and hand-tamped conc

6、rete masonry lintels intended for use in concretemasonry applications.1.3 Concrete masonry lintels covered by this specificationare made from lightweight or normal weight aggregates, orboth.1.4 This specification does not address the design or analy-sis of lintel capacity. Structural evaluations mus

The strength of a lintel is a function of factorsincluding, but not limited to, the characteristics of the materialsused in manufacturing (concrete materials and reinforcement),the amount and location of reinforcement, and the manufac-turing and curing procedures.

(12.7 mm) of the specified depth.7.1.2 End of reinforcing bars shall be terminated not morethan 3 in. (76 mm) from the end of the lintel.NOTE 5Lintels are sometimes ma

Consult applicable codes to determineif such bars need to be embedded in grout or otherwise connected to thestructure or protected.7.2 Manufacturer shall maintain records of mill certifica-tions for reinforcement and shall make su

Finish and Appearance8.1 Where lintels are to be used in exposed wallconstruction, the face or faces that are to be exposed shall notshow chips or cracks, not otherwise permitted, or otherimperfections when viewed from a distance of not less than 20

40、ft (6.1 m) under diffused lighting.8.2 The purchaser shall specify the color and texture oflintels. The finished surfaces that will be exposed in place shallconform to an approved sample consisting of not less than fourlintels, representing the range of texture and color permitted onthe project.9. S

41、ampling and Testing9.1 The purchaser or authorized representative shall beaccorded proper facilities to inspect and sample the lintels atthe place of manufacture from the lots ready for delivery.9.2 Sample and test lintels for compression and absorptionin accordance with Test Methods C140 with the f

42、ollowingdeviations.9.2.1 Compression tests shall be performed on threespecimens, each measuring nominally 4 in. (100 mm) in width,8 in. (200 mm) in length and 8 in. (200 mm) in height. Theaspect ratio of each test specimen (measured height divided bymeasured width) shall by 2.0 6 0.1. The height of

43、the specimenshall be in the same orientation as the height of the lintel. Onespecimen shall be saw-cut from each of three lintels with orwithout horizontal reinforcing bars within the specimen.NOTE 6Because concrete masonry lintels contain reinforcing steel itis often impractical to obtain compressi

44、on specimens that do not containreinforcement. Saw-cuts that are made perpendicular to the length of thereinforcement do not typically damage the integrity of the compressionspecimen being removed if the blade is sharp and in good working order.Horizontal reinforcing bars that are oriented perpendic

45、ular to the directionof compression loading do not significantly affect the tested strength of thespecimen.9.2.2 Absorption tests shall be performed on threespecimens, each having greater than 200 in3(3280 cm3)involume. One specimen shall be saw-cut from each of threelintels. The specimen shall be c

46、ut such that it does not containreinforcing bars.NOTE 7A specimen measuring nominally 4 in. (100 mm) in width, 8in. (200 mm) in length and 8 in. (200 mm) in height is typically easy toobtain and meets the volume requirements for absorption specimens.9.2.3 When saw-cutting of compression and absorpti

47、onspecimens exposes reinforcement, document and report thefollowing:9.2.3.1 Number of bars and a sketch or description of theirlocation.9.2.3.2 Size (diameter) of each bar.9.2.3.3 Vertical location of each bar, measured from top oflintel to center of bar, in. (mm).9.2.3.4 Horizontal location of each

48、 bar, measured from eachface of the lintel to the center of bar, in. (mm).10. Compliance10.1 If a sample fails to conform to the specifiedrequirements, the manufacturer shall be permitted to removelintels from the shipment. A new sample shall be selected bythe purchaser from remaining lintels from t

49、he shipment with asimilar configuration and dimension and tested at the expenseof the manufacturer. If the second sample meets the specifiedrequirements, the remaining portion of the shipment repre-sented by the sample meets the specified requirements. If thesecond sample fails to meet the specified requirements, theremaining portion of the shipment represented by the samplefails to meet the specified requirements.NOTE 8Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or projectcontract documents, the cost of tests is typically borne as fo
