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 size of beam will span 18 feet with a load of 2130psi?

That depends on many other factors. What is the beam material? Is the load a point load concentrated in one spot, or is it uniform across the total span? Specing beams is something that should be left up to a qualified person.


What size I Beam to span 16 feet with a load of 10000 lbs?

To span 16 feet with a load of 10,000 lbs, a structural engineer would typically recommend an I-beam size based on specific calculations that consider factors such as the beam's material, load type (uniform or point load), and safety factors. Commonly, a W10x30 or W12x30 might be sufficient for this application, but exact specifications should be confirmed with engineering calculations to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes. Always consult with a structural engineer for precise recommendations tailored to your project.


What size I-beam is required for a basement beam that needs to span 25 feet and will support 2x10 floor joists spanning 12 feet?

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.


What size you beam will used 60 feet span roof?

That is not a simple anwer. It depends on the roof design and how many, and where the load points are, and the material of the beam(wood, metal, composite). See a structural engineer.


What size of steel you beam can safely span 9 feet with a load carrying capacity of a 3000lb at the middle?

To safely span 9 feet with a centrally applied load of 3000 lbs, a typical steel I-beam size would be around W8x10 or W8x15, depending on factors such as the beam's material properties and safety factors. It's crucial to consult design tables or a structural engineer to ensure proper sizing, as factors like beam length, load type, and support conditions can influence the required beam dimensions. Always adhere to local building codes and regulations for safety.

What size beam to span 10 feet?

To determine the appropriate beam size for spanning 10 feet, several factors must be considered, including the type of wood or material, load requirements (e.g., live load, dead load), and the beam's orientation. Generally, for a standard residential application using lumber, a beam size of 2x8 or 2x10 might suffice for moderate loads; however, consulting local building codes and a structural engineer is essential to ensure safety and compliance. Always factor in any specific conditions that may affect load-bearing capacity.

How do you determine the size of electrical conductors?

by the size of the load they are connected to. a general lighting circuit in a home should be 500 sq feet. an appliance will have it's connected load on the name plate. all electrical components [ plugs, cord, wire, anything electricity flows through] must be DERATED 20 %. if your load is 30 amp 240, add 6 amp[20%]to the 30, for 36amp. the closest wire size is #8.


What size wire needed with a 100 amp load 250 feet away?

The question is one of voltage loss. The goal is to have enough ampacity in the selected conductors to run the maximum load with only 3 percent voltage drop, caused by the resistance inherent in the wires. Plug your numbers into a voltage drop calculator online and see what pops out. At 120 volts you would get 3.1 percent drop using 3/0 wire. At 240 volts you could drop down three sizes to #1 AWG for 3.1 percent at max load, or 1/0 size for 2.5 percent drop at max load. Assuming copper wire at normal conditions of temperature.
