Question

___________ consist of bricks which are generally placed on one end or edge.

(a) Stone Lintels

(b) Brick Lintels

(c) Wood Lintels

(d) Timber Lintels

This question was addressed to me in an interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Materials for Lintels in section Arches, Lintels, Stairs and Formwork of Construction & Building Materials

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Brick Lintels

Easiest explanation: It is founded the bricks having frogs are more suitable for the brick lintel. It is due to the fact that the frogs, filled with mortar, form keys between different layers and thus the shear resistance of end joint is increased.
