Calculate iron beams

[Toddep]

I would need help calculating the dimensions of a steel beam. Anyone know of a constructor who does this for a reasonable price?

Where should the beam be for?

(5*Q*L^3)/(384*E*I)=S
Q Distributed load in Newton
L Span in mm
E Modulus of elasticity, 210000 steel, 10500 glulam
I Moment of inertia
S Deflection in mm
Ms Max deflection in mm

Orange marking shows where the U block should be.
The horizontal one will have a steel beam in it.
It will be a ridge roof with a wood beam at the ridge, so between the windows, there will be significant pressure as the entire roof rests on that beam.

Orange marking shows where there should be U blocks.
The horizontal one will have an iron beam in it.
It will be a vaulted roof with a wooden beam at the ridge, so between the windows, there will be a lot of pressure as the entire roof rests on that beam.

There should be a vaulted ceiling with a wooden beam at the ridge, so between the windows, there will be a lot of pressure as the entire roof rests on that beam.

But there is a post in the middle? In that case, the weight from the roof won't rest on the wall at all as the loads are carried down to the long sides and the column in the middle.

I myself did like that, U-block 500mm over the entire window with 4 pieces of 12mm reinforcement at 6m, bent according to the window design, which locks the entire construction with concrete, scissors truss instead of a wooden beam. Good luck.
