A simply supported masonry lintel spans across a 16-ft opening, and supports a uniformly distributed load of 1400 lb/ft, including self-weight. Assume that two-thirds of the load is due to dead load, and one third to live load. Using the strength-design provisions, design the masonry lintel. (Use CMU blocks with 8” nominal dimensions, fully grouted CMU, f’m=1500 psi, d=46in)
