On Mon, 27 Sep 2004 22:50:15 +0100, a particular chimpanzee named
"G&M" randomly hit the keyboard and
produced:

All pre-stressed lintels have a point loading specification so no brick
courses are mandatory. Indeed it is quite common to place joists directly
on them.

A prestressed lintel _can_ be composite or non-composite. Composite
lintels need the action of three courses of brickwork (or two of
blockwork). These are usually the 65mm deep ones. Non-composite
don't need the masonry above, and come in depths of 100mm or more.
Yours are, therefore, composite ones.

You are talking crap of IMM proportions.

I have been presuming you were a real live BCO but if that is the case I
would have expected you to have a much better understanding of loading
calculations.

I would run with the ****ing people off angle; you're doing a damn
fine job at it with me.
