That depends on what it carries.
All joist/beam manufacturers have span tables that will help you determine this.
Depends on the loads and the properties of the beam. Consult a structural engineer.
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.
It depends on the type of beam, the material, whether it is a bridge span or cantilever, the allowable deflection and safety margin needed. We need a lot more data on the application.
Use a steel beam.. That would be code.. steel w10x15 (50ksi) I beam.
These calculations are not difficult, but you must know the load (including the floor weight) that will be carried. And the deflections that the appropriate building regulations allow.
A double 2x10 beam can typically span up to 12 feet without additional support.
Depends on the loads and the properties of the beam. Consult a structural engineer.
A 2x10 beam span chart provides information on the maximum allowable span for a 2x10 beam based on the type of wood and the load it will support. By referring to the chart, you can determine the appropriate span for your project to ensure the beam can safely support the intended load without sagging or failing.
The most accurate method to determine the maximum allowable span for a beam using a LVL beam span calculator is to input the specific details of the beam, such as the type of wood, dimensions, and load requirements, into the calculator. This will provide a precise calculation of the maximum span the beam can safely support.
The recommended pergola beam span for optimal structural support and durability is typically between 12 to 16 feet, depending on the material and design of the pergola. It is important to consult with a structural engineer or contractor to determine the specific beam span needed for your project.
The 2x10 header span chart provides information on how far a 2x10 header beam can span without additional support, based on the load it needs to carry and the type of wood used.
That question cannot be answered without knowing the load on the beam.
The maximum span for a 2x6 beam is typically around 10-15 feet, depending on the load it needs to support and the building codes in place.
A 2x10 board can span up to 16 feet without additional support.
Roof Line 30 Foot Span
never remove a support without consulting a building contractor. it's there for a reason. when removing a support, you would have to replace or add plies to the existing beam in place, which is a complicated procedure.
A 2x10 rafter can typically span up to 16 feet without additional support.
