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.


What size steel eye beam can safely span 14 feet with a point load of 4000 pounds in the middle?

There are a lot of considerations to be taken into account for sizing steel shapes, especially for a residential home. For instance, what are the load imposed upon the beam? How will the beam be supported? What environment will the beam sit in (i.e. high humidity, moisture, vibration)? A licensed professional engineer or architect in your state can better answer this question.


How do you calculate load on steel beams?

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


What size of I-beam will span 22 feet with a mid-point load of 850 lbs.?

Depends on the material the I-beam is made out of. Steel? Is it a wood I-joist? And I-beams come in different "flavors" as regards the geometry and cross section of the web. Variables in a question make for a variable answer.


What is nano steel?

Nano steel is an Advanced High Strength Steel, with strength levels > 900 mPa with good ductility. The source of strength is grain size on the order of 1000 times finer (nano meter size) than conventional steel.

What is the purpose of compression reinforcement in beams?

Steel is stronger than concrete. By adding some reinforcement in the compression zone of a beam, it's bending strength can be increased without increasing the size of the beam. The steel increases the compression strength, while the concrete prevents the slender steel bars from buckling.

What does the term W 8 x 17 stand for on construction drawings?

This is a designation used in the steel industry and construction industry for a wide flange, steel beam, commonly referred to as an I-beam. The W indicates a wide flange shape (as opposed to other shapes such as angles, channels, tubes and pipes). The 8 indicates the nominal beam depth as 8". The 17 indicates that the weight of the beam is 17 pounds per lineal foot of length. In an AISC steel construction manual, one can find more information and technical properties of this beam size and all other sizes offered in the United States.


What size you beam is needed to span 40 feet if used only for roof support?

It depends on the roof load and the actual clear span. Off hand, I would guess htat you haven't given this much thought. A rule of thumb for a steel truss is one inch per foot of span or in your case 40 inches. If you want to use a steel I-beam, you can get that from a good municipal library from the steel beam institute, but you are going to need a crane to place it. Dieter in Cincinnati
