  3. Introduction There are many constructive methods and techniques to build any space. Those constructive systems determine and characterize the environment which is located and the personality and needs of the people who will or are using that space In the following presentation we will be talking about "post-and-lintel", describing this method, it's advantages and disadvantages as structural and decorative elements.

  4. Load and Support in Construction Lintel BeamGirder Rafter Post ColumnsPiers • Simple construction method • Upright members: posts, columns or piers • Hold a third member horizontally: lintel, beam, girder or rafter. • In this system acts two forces, compression and tension. • Post and lintel construction-pieces must fit together exactly.

  5. Post • Support the lintel • Failure caused because excessive weakness or lenght • Material must be strong in compression • Stone, Iron, Steel and Reinforced Concrete • Brick highly efficient, and monolithic stone columns. • Has to be able to support without crushing or breaking.

  6. Lintel • Bear the loads that rest on it • Failure: Material is too weak or too long • Materials • weak in bending: must be short. (Stone) • Strong in bending: Bigger openings (Steel) • Masonry Lintels are inefficient, but lintels of monolithic stone, wood and stronger materials are employed. • Has to be able to bear without deforming or breaking.

  7. AdvantagesDisadvantages • Simplicity building time is shorter. • The walls to fill in between the posts are prefabricated. • Stability. • The lintel will deform by sagging in the middle • Limited weight that can be held up. • The small distances required between the posts. • It’s not nearly as common as platform construction. • The weight of each piece.

  8. Actual Uses Nowadays, most post and lintel construction has a third component, the wall, which adds additional support and hides the post and lintel design within the framework. It can still be seen in doorways and columns, in which the space between the vertical supports is open.

  9. Conclusion The Post and Lintel offered a solution for constructive problems in the early days, it allowed bigger and stronger buildings to be constructed. Thanks to its simplicity it is still used in modern architecture and the construction systems developed form it, helped us shape the world we live in.
