Help to calculate the dimension of glulam beam immediately.

[spomopeter]

Hello everyone, I have a problem calculating the dimension of a glulam beam above a garage door. I have a load plan from the house manufacturer showing the loads the beam is exposed to. The problem is that I need to order the beam by Tuesday 3/6 for it to arrive on time. Does anyone have suggestions on where I can turn?

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately, I don't have an issue that is covered in that program.

There are several supports and point loads.

I need someone who can help me with the calculation.

If you show what loads and storage you have, you'll probably get better help. If not, you should contact a structural engineer.

Here is the load plan I received from the house supplier.

The orange marking is Lecablock 250mm (not as in the picture 350mm insulated block) height 2400mm.
The blue marking is where I need a beam max 280mm high, and I have planned posts in glulam 90x220.
There are 2 windows and a door. (It is possible to move the door so the posts are directly under the point loads.)

The yellow marking is where there should be a beam above the garage door, also a max 280mm high beam.

There are no measurements to be able to help you. Why are the beams not included from the house supplier?
What type of floor structure is above this floor? Do you not have any more drawings to get an understanding of what loads are coming?

Hello,
These are substantial point loads, are there multiple floors? Do you have a section so one can see what's above? You will likely need columns under the point loads.

Hi,
Those are substantial point loads, are there multiple floors? Do you have a section so we can see what is above? You will probably need posts under the point loads.

It is a brick basement open on the short sides, backfilled on the long sides, built with one floor plus a sleeping loft, snow zone 5.5.

The house supplier didn't want to make the basement floor.

The house supplier did not want to do the basement floor.

I have contacted a few engineering companies, but all of them have about a 2-week lead time; I have, however, contacted one that responds instantly — that's Chat GPT, but it feels a bit shaky...;-)..

The house is set to be assembled in 10 days.....

The house supplier informed me about a week ago that I need to choose which model of beams they will set the house on.......

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