Equivalent LVL to replace flitch beam? - DIY Home Improvement …
2021年1月12日 · Here is a part of a span table from weyerhauser. For 8 ft span, triple LVL beam 5-1/2” high ... total load is a whopping 461 pounds.

Header sizing for patio door. - DIY Home Improvement Forum
2013年10月26日 · Originally, I was going to use 3 2"x12" dimensional lumber for the header. However, I had special ordered a 20' 1 3/4"x9 1/2" LVL that I was going to use for the ridge beam with 2x8 rafters. I had a change of plans, instead will use a 1 3/4"x 11 7/8" ridge beam with 2x10 rafter, so I can have more space for insulation.

Beam size for load bearing wall - DIY Home Improvement Forum
2021年3月8日 · Just not sure about the beam size. I'm assuming it will be a double 2x4 supporting each end of the beam since it's more than 6' span. Also, these are rough sawn lumber 2x4s, so they are the full 2x4" size, not 1-1/2"x3-1/2" studs holding up the wall. I'd planned to reuse a couple of these studs on either end to support the beam.

Assuming you can't get 20 ft lengths, it would be more structurally efficient to centre the 12 fts on the centre of the beam, and use a 4 ft each end. However, that might be the least of the problems. Depending on the actual load you are carrying, I suspect with an 8" deep beam spanning 20 ft, that ...

I have used a post-cap to connect the beam to the stud-pack and the studpack is screwed to the kingstuds with some framing rated screws. On the bottom of the stud-pack, I used another post cap but ...
Calculating size of beam needed to support floor joists

You have 2 problems, 1. the height of the beam needed. 2. the footing under the new posts would have to be enlarged. 15 ft would not be overspanned for 2x10 joists, so investigating sistering the joist might be easier and much cheaper. Do not use flat bottom gables with scissor trusses.
