Certainly! Based on your given specifications, you will need a wood beam that can carry a uniformly distributed load of 360 pounds per linear foot over a span of 15 feet. The beam is also laterally supported.can you help me with a wood beam design i need to span 15', its uniformly loaded, load is 360# per running foot, and beam is laterally supported
i would like to change a couple of the variables #1 change the span from 15' to 18', #2 calculate based on #2 yellow pineCertainly! Based on your given specifications, you will need a wood beam that can carry a uniformly distributed load of 360 pounds per linear foot over a span of 15 feet. The beam is also laterally supported.
Here’s a simple method to calculate the size of a required wood beam:
1. Determine the maximum bending moment: M = (w x l^2) / 8, where M is maximum bending moment in foot-pounds, w is the load per linear foot, and l is the span in feet.
M = (360 x 15^2) / 8 = 101,250 ft-lbs
2. Select a wood species and estimate the modulus of elasticity: E values for common wood species can be found in wood engineering textbooks or online resources. For this example, let's assume we are using Douglas fir with an E value of 1,800,000 psi.
3. Calculate the section modulus required for the beam: S = M / (E x c), where S is the section modulus in cubic inches, E is the modulus of elasticity, and c is the distance from the neutral axis to the top or bottom of the beam's cross section.
For a simple span, the section modulus required for a rectangular beam is:
S = bd^2/6, where b is the width of the beam and d is its depth.
S = 101,250 ft-lbs / (1,800,000 psi x 0.67) = 0.03 cubic feet.
4. Choose a standard size for the beam: Based on the calculated section modulus, a standard lumber size may work, or it may need to be adjusted:
For example, a Douglas Fir #2 grade lumber of 2x12 dimensions could work. According to the National Design Specification for Wood Construction, the nominal section width for this lumber is 1.5 inches and the nominal section depth is 11.25 inches.
The section modulus of a 2x12 is:
S = bd^2/6 = 1.5 x 11.25^2 / 6 = 23.67 cubic inches
The size of the selected beam is greater than the required section modulus of 0.03 cubic feet, so it will be able to support the load with a safety margin.
Please keep in mind that this is a simplified calculation that assumes general conditions and uniform loading. Additional factors such as deflection, shear, and creep may need to

Sorry I couldn't contact the ChatGPT think tanki would like to change a couple of the variables #1 change the span from 15' to 18', #2 calculate based on #2 yellow pine
can you answer the question when you get access to the think tank??Sorry I couldn't contact the ChatGPT think tank
Certainly! I apologize for the delay in response earlier.can you answer the question when you get access to the think tank??
M = (360 x 18^2) / 8 = 91,620 ft-lbs , this seems to be a error can you recalculateCertainly! I apologize for the delay in response earlier.
Based on your new specifications of a span of 18 feet and using #2 yellow pine, here's the revised calculation to determine the size of the wood beam that can carry a uniformly distributed load of 360 pounds per linear foot over the span:
1. Determine the maximum bending moment: M = (w x l^2) / 8, where M is maximum bending moment in foot-pounds, w is the load per linear foot, and l is the span in feet.
M = (360 x 18^2) / 8 = 91,620 ft-lbs
2. Determine the modulus of elasticity for #2 yellow pine: Let's assume the modulus of elasticity for #2 yellow pine is 1,500,000 psi.
3. Calculate the section modulus required for the wood beam:
S = M / (E x c), where S is the section modulus in cubic inches, E is the modulus of elasticity, and c is the distance from the neutral axis to the top or bottom of the wood beam's cross section.
For a simple span, the section modulus required for a rectangular wood beam is:
S = bd^2/6, where b is the width of the wood beam and d is its depth.
S = 91,620 ft-lbs / (1,500,000 psi x 0.67) = 0.086 cubic feet.
4. Choose a standard size for the wood beam based on its section modulus:
For #2 yellow pine, a wood beam size of 3 x 12 inches is recommended. The section modulus for this wood beam size is:
S = bd^2/6 = 3 x 12^2 / 6 = 72 cubic inches.
The section modulus required for the wood beam is 0.086 cubic feet or 148.4 cubic inches, and the selected wood beam size of 3 x 12 inches provides a section modulus of 72 cubic inches, which is more than sufficient to carry the load with a margin of safety.
Please keep in mind that this is a simplified calculation that assumes general conditions and uniform load. Other factors such as deflection and shear stress should also be factored into the design of the wood beam. It is important to consult a professional engineer or structural designer to ensure the safety and welfare of the intended structure.
I apologize for the error in my previous response, and thank you for bringing it to my attention. Here's the corrected calculation based on your specifications of a span of 18 feet and #2 yellow pine:M = (360 x 18^2) / 8 = 91,620 ft-lbs , this seems to be a error can you recalculate

Certainly, my apologies for the delay. Here's the complete calculation based on a span of 18 feet and the use of #2 yellow pine:can you recomplete the whole calculation and recommend a wood beam size
how much bearing would be required on each end of the suggested wood beamCertainly, my apologies for the delay. Here's the complete calculation based on a span of 18 feet and the use of #2 yellow pine:
1. Determine the maximum bending moment: M = (w x l^2) / 8, where M is maximum bending moment in foot-pounds, w is the load per linear foot, and l is the span in feet.
M = (360 x 18^2) / 8 = 145,800 ft-lbs
2. Determine the modulus of elasticity for #2 yellow pine: Let's assume the modulus of elasticity for #2 yellow pine is 1,700,000 psi.
3. Calculate the section modulus required for the wood beam:
S = M / (E x c), where S is the section modulus in cubic inches, E is the modulus of elasticity, and c is the distance from the neutral axis to the top or bottom of the wood beam's cross section.
For a simple span, the section modulus required for a rectangular wood beam is:
S = (5wL^4)/(384EI), where w is the load per linear foot, L is the span in feet, E is the modulus of elasticity, and I is the moment of inertia of the beam's cross-sectional area.
I = bd^3/12, where b is the width of the wood beam and d is its depth.
S = (5 x 360 x 18^4) / (384 x 1,700,000 x 0.67) = 0.086 cubic feet.
4. Choose a standard size for the wood beam based on its section modulus:
For #2 yellow pine, a wood beam size of 3-1/2" x 14" is recommended. The section modulus for this wood beam size is:
S = bd^2/6 = 3.5 x 14^2 / 6 = 114.33 cubic inches.
The section modulus required for the wood beam is 0.086 cubic feet or 148.4 cubic inches, while the selected wood beam size of 3-1/2" x 14" provides a section modulus of 114.33 cubic inches, which is more than adequate to carry the load with a margin of safety.
Please keep in mind that this is a simplified calculation that assumes general conditions and uniform load. Other factors such as deflection and shear stress should also be factored into the design of the wood beam. It is important to consult a professional engineer or structural designer to ensure the safety and welfare of the intended structure.

please let me know when you can contact the think tankSorry I couldn't contact the ChatGPT think tank
Apologies for the delay. Based on the recommended beam size of 3-1/2" x 14" and the span of 18 feet, the amount of bearing needed on each end of the beam would depend on a few factors, such as the type of support (e.g. bearing wall or column), the load capacity of the support, and the building codes in your area.please let me know when you can contact the think tank
in the previous calculation you suggested a 3.5"x 14" beam section .....if i were limited to a 12" section can you recommend a new section widthApologies for the delay. Based on the recommended beam size of 3-1/2" x 14" and the span of 18 feet, the amount of bearing needed on each end of the beam would depend on a few factors, such as the type of support (e.g. bearing wall or column), the load capacity of the support, and the building codes in your area.
As a general rule of thumb, the International Residential Code (IRC) requires that exterior bearing walls support a minimum of two floors and a roof, while interior bearing walls support a minimum of one floor and the roof. The bearing length should be at least 1.5 inches for each inch of the beam depth, so for a beam depth of 14 inches, the minimum bearing length would be 21 inches on each end.
If you're using a column support or other type of support, you should consult with a structural engineer or design professional to determine the required bearing length in accordance with local building codes and the specific load capacity of the support.
It's important to note that the beam should be installed level and square, and any support structures should be stable and secure to ensure the safety and stability of the structure.
If you're limited to a beam depth of 12 inches and using #2 yellow pine, the recommended width of the beam section will depend on the load capacity required for your project. Here's the revised calculation to determine a new section width for a 12-inch depth beam:in the previous calculation you suggested a 3.5"x 14" beam section .....if i were limited to a 12" section can you recommend a new section width
can you revise calculations with a beam height limit of 10" and include a expected deflection number at max loadIf you're limited to a beam depth of 12 inches and using #2 yellow pine, the recommended width of the beam section will depend on the load capacity required for your project. Here's the revised calculation to determine a new section width for a 12-inch depth beam:
1. Determine the maximum bending moment: M = (w x l^2) / 8, where M is maximum bending moment in foot-pounds, w is the load per linear foot, and l is the span in feet.
M = (360 x 18^2) / 8 = 145,800 ft-lbs
2. Determine the modulus of elasticity for #2 yellow pine: Let's assume the modulus of elasticity for #2 yellow pine is 1,700,000 psi.
3. Calculate the section modulus required for the wood beam:
S = M / (E x c), where S is the section modulus in cubic inches, E is the modulus of elasticity, and c is the distance from the neutral axis to the top or bottom of the wood beam's cross section.
For a simple span, the section modulus required for a rectangular wood beam is:
S = (5wL^4)/(384EI), where w is the load per linear foot, L is the span in feet, E is the modulus of elasticity, and I is the moment of inertia of the beam's cross-sectional area.
I = bd^3/12, where b is the width of the wood beam and d is its depth.
S = (5 x 360 x 18^4) / (384 x 1,700,000 x 0.67) = 0.086 cubic feet.
4. Choose a standard size for the wood beam based on its section modulus:
For a beam depth of 12 inches, a recommended width for #2 yellow pine to achieve a section modulus of 0.086 cubic feet would be 5.53 inches.
Therefore, a possible beam size could be 5.53 inches wide by 12 inches deep. However, it’s important to note that depending on the specific requirements of your project and local building codes, a different beam size or material may be necessary. It's recommended to consult with a structural engineer or designer for the design and construction of a safe and sturdy structure.
Certainly, here are the revised calculations for a beam height limit of 10" using #2 yellow pine. To calculate the expected deflection at maximum load, we need to calculate the moment of inertia and apply the beam deflection formula:can you revise calculations with a beam height limit of 10" and include a expected deflection number at max load
