I Beam Load Capacity Chart
I Beam Load Capacity Chart - The steel supply you get the beams from usually will calculate the loads and sizes for you at no charge. Using standard load estimates from lvl span tables: I want the middle post removed so that the span will be the full 14 feet supported by the two posts at each end. It seems that only two 4x4 posts on the basement side are hardly enough to support this beam. Total weight of supported floor: Per square inch of material = end grain carrying capacity. Beam is (nearly) 11ft long.
Ideally, i would prefer a chart that is up to date and used by code enforcement, as opposed to one just pulled off some random website. Inches of material = 6,125 lbs. Say 12 diameter sonotubes sunk 2 feet in the ground and 1 foot above the ground to support a wooden deck. The steel supply you get the beams from usually will calculate the loads and sizes for you at no charge.
The room is 15' x 19' and has a triple 2x10 beam running the full length of the room (19' span) and currently has a screw jack supporting the beam in the middle. Where the beam is a 40 footer! Ideally, i would prefer a chart that is up to date and used by code enforcement, as opposed to one just pulled off some random website. Per square inch of material = end grain carrying capacity. Posts are sitting on 2x2 footings that are in the slab. Total weight of supported floor:
Beam is (nearly) 11ft long. 55 x 154 = 8470 lbs. Say 12 diameter sonotubes sunk 2 feet in the ground and 1 foot above the ground to support a wooden deck. Per square inch of material = end grain carrying capacity. It seems that only two 4x4 posts on the basement side are hardly enough to support this beam.
Inches of material = 6,125 lbs. The steel supply you get the beams from usually will calculate the loads and sizes for you at no charge. Using standard load estimates from lvl span tables: Assuming beam is carrying 50% of this load (and the exterior wall carrying the other 50%);
Thus A 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 Piece Of Material Is 12.25 Sq.
4235/11 = 385 plf (pounds per lineal foot). The rule of thumb would be 500lbs. The steel supply you get the beams from usually will calculate the loads and sizes for you at no charge. Then you just go to the chart and look up beam load factor 7 and then scroll down till you find the span your wanting to achieve between each post.

Although varying by specie is very true and something to be considered when you get outside the norm of standard framing material. Thanks alot for that last link to the steel beam 'allowable load' chart.
Using Standard Load Estimates From Lvl Span Tables:
So if you have a 12' roof with a 1' overhang at the end your beam load factor would be the horizontal top part of the chart 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,. Say 12 diameter sonotubes sunk 2 feet in the ground and 1 foot above the ground to support a wooden deck. I’m trying to see how far a 6”x16” with 1/2” thick metal can span unsupported, carrying the center of a 2x8 ceiling, two runs of joists 14’ long, with drywall and roofing material. The room is 15' x 19' and has a triple 2x10 beam running the full length of the room (19' span) and currently has a screw jack supporting the beam in the middle.
I Had Seen Similar Sites To The Joist Calculator Pages, But Nothing On Steel So That Will Be Very Helpful, Although I'm Wondering If I Amreading It Correctly Where It Seems To Say That A 4 1/8 X 4 Beam Spanning 12' Could Handle 267 Lbs.
Per square inch of material = end grain carrying capacity. Assuming beam is carrying 50% of this load (and the exterior wall carrying the other 50%); Total weight of supported floor: 40 psf live, 15 psf dead = 55 lb/sqft.
Using standard load estimates from lvl span tables: Then look at the vertical left side of the chart. Thanks alot for that last link to the steel beam 'allowable load' chart.
