Additional Information
Padstones are mass concrete blocks that are used to distribute point loads from steel beams and concrete lintels evenly over larger areas where they are built into a structure to prevent overstressing of the masonry below.
Working on the principle of, the padstones, made from stronger materials (50 N/mm2) than the masonry (normally 7 N/mm2 blockwork) take the pressure from beams over smaller areas and spread it over larger masonry areas, thereby helping to prevent the occurrence of any cracks or structural damage.
