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 is max height of post and beam construction?
The maximum height depends on many factors like the snow load, the wind load, the size of the building, etc. Typically residential post and beam frames can be three stories or more. Commercial frames can go 60 or 70 feet or higher.
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 do you need to use as a beam to span twenty feet on a deck?
Use a steel beam.. That would be code.. steel w10x15 (50ksi) I beam.
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.
Will a w8x24 steel beam span 16 feet with a live load of 50lbs psf?
Possibly, but you haven't mentioned thickness of the steel -8 x 24 is not enough info for that calculation.
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.
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

What do you need for a beam run of 20 feet in basement with an even load on upper floor 2 story 16 on center 2 by 8 const with full span trussesno load on floors?
For a beam run of 20 feet in a basement with an even load from a two-story structure using 2x8 construction spaced 16 inches on center, you’ll need to determine the appropriate beam size and material to support the load safely. Typically, a structural engineer would recommend a beam made of either engineered wood (like LVL or glulam) or steel, depending on the specific load calculations. Additionally, you’ll need to consider factors like local building codes and any necessary supports or footings for the beam. Always consult with a professional for accurate sizing and compliance with safety regulations.
What is the span of a beam?

How much does a 12 foot 4 by 8 beam weigh?
That depends on how heavy it is. Steel beams are measured by height and width and weight-per-length As an example A beam you describe as measured in the UK could be 200mm X 100mm X 30kg/m 12 feet is approx 4m so total beam weight 120kg. This is just an example and it all depends on the unit weight. If you measure the thickness of the steel then look up steel tables online you should get a pretty good idea.
