I am hoping to get some help with a universal beam span question and this forum certainly looks like the right place.
My question is will a 250ub37.3 beam be suitable to span an opening in the following situation.
Opening between 2 brick colums will be 4980mm
2 storey dwelling, opening will be downstairs in an existing external double brick wall which will be cut out to the above size.
Beam has to support existing wooden floor and steel gable roof, gable is 3.8m from edge to hip.
The opening will leed into a new single storey room that will be 5.6m x 5.6m and will have a skillion roof (Steel)
The beam will also be supporting the new roof/ceiling.
I hope this is enough information but if not, let me know.
Thanks in advance.
