Curved CMU Lintel 1

[TKIL10]

Does anyone know where I can find information regarding the design of curved CMU lintel. I have 6" CMU spanning an 11'-4" opening and haven't been able to find information regarding curved masonry lintels anywhere.

Look up Powers Steel lintels on the internet (

They might have what you need.
