1. Doors, Windows, Lintels, and Arches: Terminology & Types An Overview for Civil Engineering Your Name Date

2. Introduction Overview of doors, windows, lintels, and arches in building construction. Importance of these elements in architectural design and structural integrity.

3. Terminology: Doors • Door Frame: Structural support for the door. • Door Leaf: The movable part. • Threshold: Bottom part of the door frame. • Sill: Horizontal part at the base of the frame. • Shutter: Panels used in certain types of doors.

4. Terminology: Windows • Sill: Bottom horizontal part. • Mullion: Vertical member between window panes. • Transom: Horizontal crosspiece separating window parts. • Glazing: Glass panels in the window.

5. Terminology: Lintels & Arches • Lintel: A horizontal structural member above openings like doors and windows. • Arch: A curved structure for spanning an opening. • Intrados: Inner curve of the arch. • Extrados: Outer curve of the arch.

6. Types of Doors (1/2) • Flush Door: Smooth on both sides. • Panel Door: Made of stiles and rails with panels. • Sliding Door: Operates on tracks. • Folding Door: Hinged panels fold together.

7. Types of Doors (2/2) • Revolving Door: Rotating panels within a cylindrical enclosure. • Rolling Shutter Door: Slats roll up in a coil. • Louvered Door: Horizontal slats for ventilation.

8. Types of Windows (1/2) • Casement Window: Hinged at the side. • Sliding Window: Operates on horizontal or vertical tracks. • Fixed Window: Non-operable, meant for lighting only.

9. Types of Windows (2/2) • Bay Window: Projects outward from the wall. • Awning Window: Hinged at the top and opens outward. • Double-Hung Window: Two movable sashes sliding vertically.

10. Types of Lintels • Wooden Lintel: Timber beams placed over openings. • Stone Lintel: Stone blocks used for structural support. • Brick Lintel: Made from bricks, used in masonry construction. • Reinforced Concrete Lintel: Concrete with steel reinforcement.

11. Types of Arches (1/2) • Semi-Circular Arch: A perfect half-circle shape. • Segmental Arch: Less than a semicircle. • Flat Arch: A flat top with slight curvature.

12. Types of Arches (2/2) • Pointed Arch: Has a sharp, pointed crown. • Horseshoe Arch: Curved beyond a semicircle. • Tudor Arch: Shallow, pointed arch.

13. Functions of Doors and Windows • Doors: Security, Privacy, Access Control. • Windows: Natural light, Ventilation, Aesthetic views.

14. Structural Importance of Lintels and Arches • Lintels: Bear loads above windows and doors, prevent cracking. • Arches: Distribute weight evenly over an opening, aesthetic value.

15. Conclusion Summary of key points on doors, windows, lintels, and arches. Their role in architectural and structural design.
