the beam has a total volume of 60ft 3 what is the maximium horizontal gap that the beam can span
What size steel I beam do I need to span a 32 feet garage with a floored storage above and no posts
About 5metres(16') but would have to be stress graded timber.
Dasign of T- beam is some what similar to rectangular beam, in design slab thickness is determined first. the slab is acts as compression flange in designing the beam. the flange acts as compression zone, which is balance by steel embeded in the bottom web of the beam. slab thickness= t, in. effective depth= d, in. width of web= b', in. flange width= b, in. width of flange should be least of the three alternatives, 1. span/4. 2. b' + 16t. 3. centre to centre spacing of beams.
If I am reading the question correctly, a load bearing wall was removed and replaced with a beam? Clear span, no post in the middle? If cracks are appearing, the beam that was used was not big enough. For any space of 8 feet or more, 2x12 and plywood should be used for the beam or an engineered truss used.

Only if it is at least 12' long.
what is the regularly span of a arch bridge
250 Feet
8 mialls long
250 Feet
That depends on what it is carrying. . .you definitely need to consult a structural engineer for this information, and having the original set of plans to show him will help. FYI. . .28 feet is a VERY long clear-span for any type of beam.
That depends on what it carries. All joist/beam manufacturers have span tables that will help you determine this.
Pro's= Most simple to design and make, thus allowing less time needed to build. Con's= Weak when long span but strong with a short span
That question cannot be answered without knowing the load on the beam.
Use a steel beam.. That would be code.. steel w10x15 (50ksi) I beam.
two beam bridges linked together
