Best method to replace load wall
(OP)
What's the best replacement for a 2-story basement load wall (LVL or steel i-beam)? Need to support a span of 20'. Current support structure is 3-14' LVL's and 1-6' LVL. The LVL's are 1.75x12 3100Fb 2.0E beams. Need to keep the height at 12" or less.

BTW - you might want a structural to look at the sizes - just in case someone blew it the first time around!!
