I appreciate all of the help. At this point, I am just needing to get an idea of the beam size so I can include it in my cost of shoring up something. Thanks again.
I am needing to determine what size beam to use; I have a span of 36', simply supported at the ends, with a UDL starting @ 10' of 840 lb/ft. This UDL continues for 16'. If anybody could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. What computer programs does anybody...
