That can't be answered without seeing the details of your plans.
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.
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
All exterior walls in a home are load bearing. The exterior walls on the gable end of your house do not bear much load, but the walls that the hip of the roof bear on carry your roof and ceiling joints. Interior walls are another story. Usually in a smaller one story home there is a wall that runs the midspan of the house that is load bearing for your roof and ceiling joints.
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
Depends on the area above the ceiling joists. Is it a live load (living space) or dead load (just the joists with maybe an attic above)? Also, the length of the ceiling joists from the last bearing point is a factor. How much weight is bearing on the beam is the critical issue.
The recommended size and material for a support beam to reinforce a load-bearing wall in a residential structure is typically a steel or engineered wood beam that is sized according to the specific load requirements of the wall. It is important to consult with a structural engineer to determine the exact specifications needed for the support beam.
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.

The most accurate and reliable method to calculate the load-bearing capacity of a beam using an LVL beam calculator is to input the specific dimensions and properties of the beam, along with the load and support conditions, into the calculator. This will provide a precise estimation of the beam's capacity to support weight.
A load-bearing beam is important in a building's structural integrity because it supports the weight of the structure and helps distribute the load evenly to prevent the building from collapsing or experiencing structural failure.
A load-bearing support beam in a building's structure is designed to carry and distribute the weight of the building and its contents to the foundation, ensuring the stability and structural integrity of the building.
Support the load whatever it is, roof, second floor, generally by putting a temporary beam under the joist inside of the existing wall, tear the wall out and put in a beam to carry the load. How big the beam needs to be depends on what the load is and how long the span is. Support the beam on each end and remove the temporary beam. These are the general steps, each project is going to be slightly different and has to be figured on it's own.

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
you have to change the beam to another one that could be hollow and most likely change it to a triangle beam because it is the strongest shape
The normal size of a plinth beam is typically between 9 inches to 12 inches in thickness and 9 inches to 12 inches in depth, depending on the structural design requirements and load-bearing capacity needed for the building.
