It should be sized by the lumber yard or supplier of the laminated beam. Engineering specifications and requirements are not something to take lightly. Make sure to receive some sort of engineering certification for your specific purpose.

Is a shelf support a simple machine?

No, a shelf support is likely a cantilevered beam, that is not a simple machine. Simple machines exploit leverage to increase or change the direction of force, a cantilevered beam merely supports a force.


What is a Laminated Beam?

A laminated beam is a beam that is made of thin layers of a material (Called lamina). An example is glulam beams, which are thin layers of wood glued together to make a large beam.


What is the strongest type of beam?

Glue laminated

What is the cantilevered section of a deck?

under the deck there will be a supporting beam, anything hanging out beyond this beam is the cantilever. some decks are fully cantilevered (they are attached to floor joists in the house and have no support posts/beams under them). these are usually no more than 4 feet long.


Where does the maximum bending moment occur?

Picture a beam cantilevered out from a wall with a weight hung off the outer end. The place it would need to resist bending the most is right next to the wall


What is the difference in strength between solid and laminated timber beam?

I think the laminate board is the strongest because I tested it and that's what I got.


What size laminated timber beam is needed for a 23 foot clear span under a 15 foot roof in between load bearing walls -?

38 feet longIt is not possible to give a definite answer without more detail. The construction and type of roof will determine the load (weight) bearing on the beam, and factors such as wind load and earthquake load, and the way the roof bears on the beam (truss/point load/distributed load) will all affect the sizing.

How is a reinforced concrete cantilevered staircase designed?

If you mean a cantilever projecting from a concrete wall or beam, first you must evaluate the dead loads and live loads.Then the structural analysis is done for a fixed cantilever beam;Moment M=q*l*l/2;Shear V=q*l; for the reinforcement design.The most important thing is to check the vertical displacement and to guarantee it is within the allowable value (depending on the code).I would suggest a cracked section analysis i.e a reduction of the section bending resistance
