Span/load beam questions really cannot be answered. You will need to have the plans looked at by a engineer. At the very least the lumber yard selling the beam may have an on-staff engineer to have a look at it.

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

Will a 8x4 beam support a 16 foot floor span?

Whether an 8x4 beam can support a 16-foot floor span depends on the load it will carry and the type of material used. Typically, an 8x4 (which I assume refers to an 8-inch by 4-inch beam) may not adequately support a 16-foot span for standard residential loads without additional support, such as posts or a different beam size. It's crucial to consult local building codes and a structural engineer for precise calculations and recommendations based on the specific application.

A 4x8 beam may not be adequate to span a 20-foot pergola without significant support.

Typically, larger beams or additional support posts would be needed to ensure structural integrity and safety. It's advisable to consult a structural engineer for specific recommendations.
