try this website it might help - http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/beams-support-forces-d_1311.html first off the calculations are based on beam size (example w14x26 [14=14" x26=lbs. ) which is around 5 3/16" wide x 13 7/8" high the flange thickness is around 3/8" thick and the web would be 1/4" wide you also must check the span and application (concrete Pier's, or schedule 40 columns (1/4" thick steel column) there are other factors which are involved in other words consult your engineer

How do you calculate reactions for a simply supported beam subjected to point load?
simply supported beams as we all know contain 2 supports at its ends, to support the beam.simply supported beams can be seen in several structure arounds us .the main thing to learn about simply supported beams is that the support reaction will be always equal to the point load concentrated on the beams.you can easily calc the rxn of the beams by applying the equilibrium condition into it
How do beam bridges support weight or load on them?
Beam bridges support weight or load on them by compressing to the area of the load pushing on the beams and the beams creating a reaction force that pushes back up on the load.

Different sections of beam?
Among our handy steel beam tables you can find standard beams' dimensions and beams' weights, steel hollow sections tables and other steel profiles data.
Are w shape steel beams doubly symmetric or singly symmetric?
The "W" in steel I-beam designations refers to wide-flanged beams. Most wide-flanged beams are symmetric about both the vertical and horizontal axes.

What is a construction beam?
Almost any solid horizontal structural member is considered a beam. They are usually steel or concrete and are used to transfer a vertical load imposed on the span (middle) of the beam to the ends or vertical supports of the beam. Steel beams are probably what most people think of when picturing a beam. W-sections (formerly known as I-beams, but are modified by the strength/type of steel and the cross section shapes) are the most common steel beams used. Concrete beams are often used in foundations and can be best seen above ground in parking garages everywhere. There is always a good amount of reinforcing steel in a concrete beam to carry the tension that occurs in the bottom of a beam so the concrete won't fracture.
Why are beams shaped like an 'I'?
Makes the load go down.
How timber columns and beams react under load?

What does the designation Universal Column mean?
Universal columns (or beams) are H-shaped steel joists with parallel flanges which are thickened to carry an axial load (or bending load). The "top and bottom" flanges of the Ɪ girder are slightly thicker than the middle.
What a rivet gun is used for?
A rivet gun is used to punch steel bolts into steel beams.
What is the difference between a Joist and Beam?
A joist can be a board as small as a 2 x 6 on up to a 2 x 12. A "beam" can be as simple as two joists nailed together. Beams will change depending on the load required of it. Some beams will require three 2 x 12s, glued and screwed or extreme loads or spans will call for engineered wood beams or even steel "I" beams with pipe columns.
What is the melting point of solid steel beams?
Technically, solid steel beams do not have a melting point, as they will not completely melt. Even when faced with temperatures of 1800 degrees Fahrenheit, they mainly corrode.
What is a beam in structure?
take example as a buildingBasically there are slab, beams and columnsThe loadings are applied on the beams and slabswall on the beam is beam load. wall on the slab is slab load.column is the element which connect all the beams and bring the load to foundation.slab is the element which transfer slab load to beam.Beam is the element which transfer slab loads and beam loads to columns.
Beams transfer loads from the joists to?
Load bearing walls or columns.
What h-piling is in civil engineering?
H piles are similar to W sections, resembling what folks have always called I beams. They are sectionally designed to allow more effective transmission of moment and axial load than W sections which are largely used in for structural steel beams.
What size I beam will span 30' with a 90 lb load per sq. ft?
This question makes no sense. A 90 lb load per sq. ft. refers to an area. To calculate the stresses on beams supporting an area you have to know the spacing between adjacent beams as well as the span. p.s. This qn when fixed belongs in mechanical engineering.
