In architecture, post and lintel (also called prop and lintel or a trabeated system) is system with a lintel, header, or architrave as the horizontal member over a building void supported at its ends by two vertical columns, pillars, or posts. A "fundamental principle" of Ancient Greek architecture, builders continue to use this method to support the weight of the structure above the openings for windows and doors in a bearing wall. ==Lintel beams== In architecture, a post-and-lintel or trabeated system refers to the use of horizontal beams or lintels which are borne up by columns or posts. The name is from the Latin ''trabs'', ''beam''; influenced by ''trabeatus'', clothed in the ''trabea'', a ritual garment. The trabeated system is a fundamental principle of Neolithic architecture, Ancient Indian architecture, Ancient Greek architecture and Ancient Egyptian architecture. Other trabeated styles are the Persian, Lycian, Japanese, traditional Chinese, and ancient Chinese architecture, especially in northern China,〔Post and lintel is the main structural system in Northern China, the southern traditional timber buildings which use a column-and-tie structural system.

The traditions are represented in North and Central America by Mayan architecture, and in South America by Inca architecture. A noteworthy example of a trabeated system is in Volubilis, from the Roman era, where one side of the Decumanus Maximus is lined with trabeated elements, while the opposite side of the roadway is designed in arched style.〔(C. Michael Hogan, ''Volubilis'', Megalithic Portal, ed. A. Burnham (2007) )〕 In India the style was used originally for wooden construction, but later the technique was adopted for stone structures for decorated load-bearing and purely ornamented non-structural purposes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「post and lintel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
