3. The post breaks when the material is too weak or is too long.
The job of the Post is to support the lintel and its loads without crushing or buckling
A characteristic for this piece is that the material must be especially strong in compression.
The post breaks when the material is too weak or is too long.

4. lintel
The job of the lintel is to bear the loads that rest on it (and its own load) without deforming or breaking. When the lintel breaks is only when the material is too weak or the lintel is too long.

5. Post and lintel system Consists in:
The post and lintel system is the simplest method of load and support in the area of ​​construction.

Slabs
Beams
Columns
Foundation
These elements are connected to each other, so that it behaves as one unit.

The short distance between the posts to support the lintel

11. conclusion
Post and lintel originated the framed structures we use nowadays.
This structure gives the possibility to use different materials, forms and size to compose this kind of structures.
Architects and engineers often use de framed structures because of the all advantages
These building technique have been used since the first civilizations
Nowadays the structural system is maintained with the evolution of better and more resistant methods
