ABSTRACT
This paper enunciates experimental findings of laboratory results of a typical composite lintel consisting of a thin RCC slab supporting brick masonry layers on it. In this paper, two Thin RCC Slab - Brick Work Composite Lintel (TRBWCL) specimens of both 900 mm clear span were cast with 50 mm thin RCC Slab. Out of them, one was over laid with one layer of brick work in CM 1:5 and the other was laid on three courses of brickwork CM 1:5. The ultimate flexural capacity of such TRBWCL were experimentally tested and reported along with its flexural behavior.
