Beam Design 2/4: Picking a Beam Size
A wood floor beam has a uniformly distributed dead load of 80 pounds per foot and a live load of less than 7 days' duration of 80 pounds per foot on a span of 22 feet.
What size beam should be used, considering bending stress only, using No.1 and better Douglas fir and assuming that the weight of the beam is included in the dead load? ( do not increase the allowable stress by 1.25 as that is only applicable for roof beams. This is a floor beam)
