How can you strengthen a load bearing horizontal beam that is supported only at the ends?
you have to change the beam to another one that could be hollow and most likely change it to a triangle beam because it is the strongest shape
You removed a load bearing wall they had reinforced the post and put in a beam 2 months later you are noticing cracks in the wall and a previous crack had lengthened what are my walls saying?
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.
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.
What are the different types of beams?
Tee beam, L beam & Inverted beam tayyab.. there are many other types of beam such as cantilever beam , simply supported beam . t beam . knife edge beam and many more
What is up stand beam?
An upstand beam is the beam that arises from the area that a slab connects to a beam. It juts out at floor level.

What is a minimum length for beam suppot on bearing wall?
That depends on what the beam is supporting above. Ideally 150mm bearing is the minimum. I have seen as little as 50mm! But any engineer would frown upon this.

To remove 8 feet of load bearing wall and replace with steel beam what size beam?
With a span of only 8" you can probably use a wood beam, but without a set of plans no one can accurately answer your question.
Load bearing walls?
need more info. Don't know it is that you want for sure. A load bearing beam is any beam that supports weight bearing down or suspended from it. The name says it all. Need to know exactly what it is you want to know
How do you remove a load bearing wall?
Support the load whatever it is, roof, second floor, generally by putting a temporary beam under the joist inside of the existing wall, tear the wall out and put in a beam to carry the load. How big the beam needs to be depends on what the load is and how long the span is. Support the beam on each end and remove the temporary beam. These are the general steps, each project is going to be slightly different and has to be figured on it's own.
What is advantage of beam in building?
to help support the building. also to build up the building bigger or taller depending on the size of the beam.
Calculate the end bearing length for a 10 inch by 16 inch timber beam if the beam reacion is 15000lbs and the compressive stress is 300psi?
You need at least 50 square inches of bearing (at least 2x6 wall for a 10" wide beam). You also have to make sure to have proper pad below and enough studs (of filled cells) in the wall to accomodate the load.
What is maximum span on a double 2x12 beam non load bearing?
Not sure why you need a beam that bears no load. You can go 22'. Beyond that it needs to be broken down to shorter lengths.

Do vibrations happen if you remove a load bearing wall?
yes A lot more can happen if you remove a load bearing wall and do not add the proper support such as a beam or girder, even building collapse.
How do you know if it is a load bearing wall?
A wall without column structure. The wall itself support the loading from the upper floor. In conventional structure, the column support the loading from the upper beam and transfer it to the lower beam.
