Steel Beam Span Chart

Steel Beam Span Chart - The house has a center hallway and the two beams sit on either side of the center hall. With traditional lumber you probably need a beam 14 or better 16 high.

Does the steel beam need to be prestressed (bent a bit)so that it is level after installed? The material will be pressure treated pine. The room is 18' x 16' so id like to install a steel i beam to support the 16' 2 x 10s. I think your carpenter is correct.

I have a 50 yr old 1 story house with no cracks! 10 lbs per sq ft would = 1210 lbs of lumber on an 11x11 area, with 2 beams, one on each end that is (1210/2=605 lbs per beam) or 1 beam and 1 ledger. The house is two stories tall. Thanks alot for that last link to the steel beam 'allowable load' chart. You said a 16' beam but then threw in something about a 4x4 post. And not just for span and load considerations.

The span between the two new lally column locations won't either. 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. 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 want to limit the support posts to 4 and need to know the maximum span between the Thanks alot for that last link to the steel beam 'allowable load' chart. With traditional lumber you probably need a beam 14 or better 16 high. The material will be pressure treated pine.

The I Beam Will Be 18' Free Span.

And not just for span and load considerations. There is no way dimensional lumber 4x8 is going to span 16'. All this to open the floor for a new rec room. I want to limit the support posts to 4 and need to know the maximum span between the
