Help to calculate the dimension of glulam beam immediately.

[spomopeter]

Doesn't the house supplier have people who can calculate that?

I thought so too.

There are no measurements to help you. Why aren't the beams included from the house supplier?
What kind of floor is above this level? Do you have any more drawings to understand what loads are coming?

I have added more drawings in the thread now. Thanks for all the engagement.

Place columns under the large point loads (those that are 50kn). What is your span? (i.e., the length of the beam that is freely supported, without any support underneath?) Put measurements on the short sides in your load plan. What is the distance between the point loads? Does a steel beam work or does it need to be glulam?

Hi, I have attached photos of the load plan that I have measured by measuring on the drawing, (the house supplier has not provided any measurements of the load points...)


"Relax beam"
The criteria that are important are as follows:
Window dimensions are 161cm wide, and the sauna door does not land in a window.
The door out can be in the middle between the point loads.
The floor comes at 240cm.
The door and windows are 211cm high.
I can use a steel beam but prefer glulam.
The longest span is 161cm.

"Garage beam"
The criteria that are important are as follows:
The garage door is 270 cm wide.
The door is 101cm wide.
Both have a height of 211cm.
The floor comes at 240cm.
The beam height is a maximum of 28cm.

It is possible to adjust the placement of doors and windows if it improves the ability to have a lower beam.

The point loads that are in the middle of the house that will stand on a 25cm Leca wall, will the wall hold?

I am VERY grateful for answers to this issue.

"Relaxbalk"
The criteria that are important are as follows:
Window dimensions 161cm wide, and the sauna door should not end up in a window.
The door out can be between the point loads.
The joist will be at 240cm
The door and windows are 211cm high.
I can use a steel beam but prefer glulam timber.
The longest span is 161cm.

"Garagebalk"
The criteria that are important are as follows:
The garage door is 270 cm wide.
The door is 101cm wide.
Both have a height of 211cm
The joist will be at 240cm
The beam height is max 28cm.

It is possible to adjust the placement of doors and windows if it improves the possibility of a lower beam.

The point loads that are in the middle of the house, which will stand on a 25cm brick Lecawall, will the wall hold up?

I am VERY grateful for answers to this problem.

The Relaxbalk doesn't get much load if we place columns directly under the point loads, it should then be possible to stay under 240 mm in height, especially with a span of 161 cm.

The Garagebalk is a bit trickier to get under 280 mm with a 270 cm span, but it might work with the right solution.

Not an expert, but on the sauna side, I wouldn't be worried at all if you have columns under the load points and such short spans.

But over the garage door, I would use a 240 I-beam, it seems like it must handle anything a house can impose on a 270 span. Someone may correct me if I'm wrong — but it feels like you should have a good margin there. I assume it's a very accessible place so you can bring in a tractor to lift it into place.

Looks like it'll be a great house by the way!!
