I will need to insert a steel beam into the intermediate floor of my extension. I have been trying to find some kind of dimensioning table to figure out how thick the beam should be, but the tables I found assume that the load is evenly distributed across the beam, while I will have a load of just over 3000kg in the middle of a beam that is 4.5m long. Does anyone have a link to a table of this kind?
 
The deflection is twice as large if you have a point load in the middle compared to a distributed load.
 
no idea! would imagine that a HEB 220 would work. it won't break.
 
Hello!
I am planning a mezzanine with a total span of just over 9 meters. My designer has specified two HEA200 beams distributed over about 3 meters with recessed 45x220 K24 timber. The HEA rests on glulam columns 90x90 LK30.

The problem for me is that I don't know what the HEA200 weighs per meter. They are lying on the plot, and you can't just lift them around. I live on a rock, so it's difficult to bring in a crane. Any tips on how to lift them?
