I'll keep trying next week but I thought I'd share my fun filled day. He just reviews them and unless they have incorrect codes, approves them. When I asked him about submitting my own plans, he literally told me that he doesn't need an engineer's approval on plans. Acted like he'd never seen a residential plan that included a steel beam. The guy was nice but couldn't help me out. Then I was like, duh, just call the county.

#LVL SPAN TABLES RIDGE BEAM HOW TO#

I called 'the' lumber yard (1) and had to leave a message for the manager because no one in the office knew how to engineer a beam, wood or steel. Well, she did give me a number to a company 2 hours away but that won't work. I called the largest steel company and told the lady answering phones, 'I know you don't do residential but at least let me talk to one of your guys and hopefully they can refer me to someone.' Guess what.nothing. So get this, I called the few (4) steel places in my area and none provide residential steel work nor could offer an engineer to help me. You should consult with an engineer and see what would be a steel I-Beam option. That said a 5 1/4' x 18' beam can support 391LB PFT which is only good for a 26' span and the weight of that beam is 578.8 LB so I don't know how you plan on getting that beam inside, because the beam to span 36' will be even more and a much larger beam. so every bearing point on each side has to support an additional 6,660LB. So as an example with basic calculation.If you plan on doing a habitable attic space to meet L/360 floor load criteria PFT design load.and if your building width is 24' you need a beam to support a total of 13,320LB load that 370LB per foot. That said I'm not giving you structural advice here I'm just curious to know what size that beam would need to be.Īs the foundation and the footing goes that is a different story and the integrity of it and if it can support the additional load, i.e that would depend on the footing width, depth, and the soil. The beam carry load is the with of the house perpendicular to the girder (the joist span on each side of the girder)
