Replacing wood with steel? If they don't need to be clear span you can block them wherever needed also. Depends on the use of the barn and what size and weight you are going to be putting on them. Im no engineer, but I would wing it if it were mine. Posted 14:37 (#4371954 - in reply to #4371802) Subject: RE: Any engineers? Replacing wood with steel? Try findimg someone at your state university.īut one would need to know the span length of the beam to figure it out. And it would be expensive advise if you hired him ($400-600/hr ). He probably doesn't want to give "advice" since something like that would make him liable. Posted 14:09 (#4371886 - in reply to #4371802) Subject: RE: Any engineers? Replacing wood with steel? How can I figure out how heavy of a beam it will take to equal or exceed the oak beams strength? I called a structural engineer but he didn't seem very interested and hasn't gotten back to me. I am thinking about replacing them with a 12" steel beam. I have several 12" tall 8" wide oak beams under my barn that are in poor shape. Posted 13:26 (#4371802) Subject: Any engineers?

By understanding the table and taking all the required factors into account, contractors can ensure that their projects are safe, up to code, and completed to the highest standards.You are logged in as a guest. Overall, the Lvl Beam Span Table is an essential part of the Ontario Building Code and a key factor in any successful building project. This helps to ensure that the project is completed safely and to the highest standards. Using the table, a contractor can determine the maximum span their beam can safely support. This table provides the maximum allowable span for each species of lumber, as well as the size and load of the beam. Once all of these factors have been taken into consideration, the Lvl Beam Span Table can be consulted. For example, if the project is located in an area prone to seismic activity, the tables may be adjusted accordingly. Additionally, the span tables can vary depending on the location of the project and the type of construction being done. This means that the span tables can change over time, so it’s important to stay up to date with the latest version of the Code. It’s also important to note that the span tables are based on the National Building Code of Canada, which is updated every five years. All of these factors should be taken into account when determining the maximum span for a beam. For example, a beam supporting a roof or floor is going to be under much more stress than one supporting a wall. Additionally, the size of the beam and its use also affect its ability to span. Different species of wood have different strengths, so the span tables are adjusted accordingly. The first is the species of lumber being used. When looking through the Lvl Beam Span Table, there are several important factors to consider. Understanding the Lvl Beam Span Table is a key part of any successful building project and will help to ensure the safety of everyone involved. One of the most important aspects of the Code is the Lvl Beam Span Table, which establishes the maximum length that a beam can span and still support the structure. The Ontario Building Code is an essential part of staying safe when working on construction projects in the province.
