Hi.
It seems like there are quite a few people here who know what works when you want to make alterations to your house.
I'm planning to demolish the wall between the kitchen and living room, and I assume it is load-bearing. The wall is 5.7m long and is located 0.8m from the center of the house.
In my own imagination, I hope that something like an HEA 200 will suffice, standing on something like a VKR 120x120x10 at the end towards the hallway and a VKR 120x80x10 at the other end. (To save some space). I'm attaching a drawing, and it's the red wall that needs to be removed.
Thanks in advance for all the tips I can get.
I've put some steel in the cabin in that way. I cheated by getting the load from Moelven's guide, then I chose suitable beams and pipes. Welded brackets but calculated as simply supported. If it's tight, you can ask someone to calculate it more precisely. If you have it fixed, you can reduce the height a bit since it's the moment that is dimensioning. Remember to fireproof it as well. I think I have some pictures on the blog.
I was thinking of doing something similar to what you have done at the top of the posts. Is it sufficient for it not to be considered as freely supported or do the posts need to be secured in another way as well? Planning to do the same with Moelven as a base but I never got the hang of which values on the steel beam to go with. Thanks for the info.
