I’m cutting a 36-inch doorway through a 12-inch concrete block basement wall that currently bears two full stories. Directly above the opening sits a living-room fireplace, and that floor system is framed with joists spaced 12 inches on center. Because of the loading path through the wall, I need a structural engineer to determine the exact size, section properties, and grade of and material type recommended for a lintel lintel that will safely carry the residential loads involved. (I live in Kentucky). What I need from you is a concise calculation package that shows all load take-offs, code references, safety factors, and the final member specification. A brief sketch or marked-up photo locating the bearing points, end-seat lengths, and any required padstones will help my mason install it correctly. If you are licensed and can provide a stamped letter or drawing for my local inspector, please let me know; otherwise an unsigned engineering report is acceptable as long as the math is clear. I have photos, dimensions, and can supply any additional measurements you request. Let me know what you need first, and I’ll get it over right away so you can start the analysis.
