What is maximum span on a double 2x12 beam non load bearing?
Not sure why you need a beam that bears no load. You can go 22'. Beyond that it needs to be broken down to shorter lengths.
What size beam you need to support a 10 ft span load bearing wall?
Depends on how much weight is above it!! but on 1 -2 story wood framed structures triple 2x12's glued and nailed will do the trick
What size steel I beam do you need to carry a 5000 pound point load with a span of 20 feet?
To determine the appropriate size of a steel I-beam for a 5,000-pound point load over a 20-foot span, you'll need to consider factors such as the beam's material properties and safety factors. Typically, a W8x10 or W10x12 I-beam might be suitable for this load, but it's crucial to perform detailed calculations or consult a structural engineer to ensure compliance with local building codes and safety requirements. Additionally, factors such as beam support conditions and deflection limits should be considered in the final design.
How do you find load bearing walls in a 2 story?
You will need to go to the level above the wall. If girders, joists or another wall is supported by your initial wall, then that becomes a 'load'. Supported by by the wall downstarirs, Thus bearing a load
Can 2x12x16ft carry a concrete floor 6 in thick?
To determine if a 2x12x16 ft beam can support a 6-inch thick concrete floor, you need to consider the weight of the concrete and the load-bearing capacity of the beam. A 6-inch thick concrete floor weighs approximately 150 pounds per cubic foot, totaling around 1,125 pounds per square foot. The 2x12 beam must be properly supported and spaced according to building codes to ensure it can bear this load without risk of failure. Consulting a structural engineer for specific calculations and safety assessments is recommended.

Load bearing walls?
need more info. Don't know it is that you want for sure. A load bearing beam is any beam that supports weight bearing down or suspended from it. The name says it all. Need to know exactly what it is you want to know
How can you tell an interior load bearing wall?
Center of a structure is usually load bearing. Look in attic or basement to see where the support is.
What size beam you need to support a 10 ft span load bearing wall?
Depends on how much weight is above it!! but on 1 -2 story wood framed structures triple 2x12's glued and nailed will do the trick
How do you calculate the size of a LVL beam?
To calculate the size of a LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) beam, you need to consider factors such as the span of the beam, the load it will support, and the allowable deflection. This calculation typically involves using engineering tables or software to determine the appropriate dimensions for the LVL beam to ensure it can safely support the intended load without excessive deflection.
Calculate the end bearing length for a 10 inch by 16 inch timber beam if the beam reacion is 15000lbs and the compressive stress is 300psi?
You need at least 50 square inches of bearing (at least 2x6 wall for a 10" wide beam). You also have to make sure to have proper pad below and enough studs (of filled cells) in the wall to accomodate the load.
Are exterior walls load bearing?
Depends on where it is. If it is the center wall that runs down the middle of the house under the peak of the roof, then yes. Usually the ceiling joist are lapped on top of this wall. Any outside wall is also. cross wall around upstair bath may be also. Almost any wall can me moved and a beam put in it's place but you need to know what you are doing to do it. Broad, general rule of thumb is any wall running the same direction as the main peak of the roof probably is a bearing wall.
Does a 4 X 8 X 16 steel beam need a center support when it has only one floor level that it supports. The room it supports is 16.5 foot wide?
you should be fine if you are just supporting the load of the floor. If you are putting increased load on the beam to support the roof somehow that could be a problem.
Do non load bearing walls need a header?
No.
What size beam do you need to span 8 meters?
The size of the beam needed to span 8 meters depends on several factors, including the type of material (wood, steel, concrete), the load it will support (live load and dead load), and the beam's design (e.g., continuous, simply supported). For example, a steel I-beam may be smaller than a wooden beam for the same load. It's essential to consult structural engineering tables or a professional engineer for specific calculations and recommendations based on the project's requirements.
What size of beam do you need to span 14 ft?
That really depends upon the load you need to carry and the material that the beam is made of.
Will a cantilever slab have beam at its fixed end and what is the load distribution for it like triangular......?
it will need a suppot element , depper and stiffer concrete members will act as support
