Load-bearing!!

[Kutte]

Hello.
I would like to know how much a wooden beam measuring 180x180x4000 can support?

Welcome to the forum.

You probably need to give us more information to even get a guess.

Are we talking about a column or a horizontal beam?
How many support points are there?
Is it a distributed load or a point load?

 

[Kutte]

It is a horizontal beam between two walls.
Uniform load along the entire beam.

What does "bär" mean? Breaks off or a certain deflection? What classification for beams?

 

[haavard]

"Bear" means that the deflection is not greater than approved.

The math is simple. At least I thought so when I attended Chalmers. but don't ask me now...

I would guess that it has too low a bearing capacity alone at that length without any support in the middle. This can be looked up in tables. But it probably requires at least structural timber with quality c24 in any case. One might be able to compensate for the breaking load by positioning them twice as close. Meaning cc30 instead of cc60. But it will then bend and sway in the middle. But not break. My guess. Best regards, PerOF

I just want to know how much it can take before it breaks? 😣

 

[bossespecial]

What type of beam is it, something existing or something you purchased? Do you know what grade of timber it is? What is it supposed to bear?

I just want to know how much it can handle before it breaks?��

Over 8 tons …
