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 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 size of beam is needed to span 10 feet if used only for roof support?

The size of the beam needed to span 10 feet for roof support depends on various factors, including the type of material (wood, steel, etc.), the load it will carry, and local building codes. For a typical wooden beam, a common choice might be a 2x10 or 2x12, but calculations based on specific load requirements and spacing are essential. It's advisable to consult a structural engineer or local building codes to determine the exact specifications for safety and compliance.

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.
