ABSTRACT:
Structural support systems and methods are provided to reinforce lintel support systems. According to some embodiments, a reinforcement system to reinforce an elongated load bearing member having opposing ends and supporting a load can comprise an elongated reinforcing member having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion can be disposed beneath the load bearing member between the opposing ends of the load supporting member and have a length substantially equal to the length of the load bearing member. The second portion can have length greater than the first portion. Also, the second portion can extend in a substantially normal direction from the first portion and be spaced apart from the load bearing member. The second portion can be securedly fixed in a substantially static position to support the first portion disposed beneath the load bearing member. In one configuration, the second portion can be fixed to a header associated with a lintel support system. Other embodiments are also claimed and described.
