Help to convert dimensions from glulam to HEB beam

[jonas ritsle]

Hello.

I am planning to reinforce a load-bearing wall and have used the "svenskt trä byggbeskringar" calculation for the dimensioning of a glulam beam, but since it results in needing a 4050x115 beam, I would like to consider a steel beam to avoid the height that a glulam beam requires. I've been searching forever but can't find a similar guide for steel beams.
Can anyone help me with this?

Dimensions and the glulam beam suggestion are in the attached image.

Best regards, Jonas

I have googled for ages but can't find a similar guide for steel beams. Is there anyone who can help me with this?

Dimensions of everything and a proposal for a glulam beam are in the attached image.

Doesn't it say you need a 115x405, not 115x4050?

Measurements and suggestions for the glulam beam are in the attached image.

405x115*

Of course. Absolutely right, that zero that slipped in there should not be there.

Download Tibnor's construction tables, at the end there are dimensioning tables.

80 kN in total load should mean that you have calculated a design load that you need to transfer at 80 kN/4.2 m = 19 kN/m.

4.2 m is not in the tables, but the nearest larger is 4.8 m. So the smallest profile that can be chosen according to the tables is HEB200 but is likely to be somewhat over-dimensioned.
