Structural and Dimensional Drawings
EX: Beams are the primary structural support for
any structure. Beams support the roof, support the
floors as well as providing support for large open
spans such as great rooms or garage door openings.
To provide a safe structural support such beams
need to be calculated based on length of span, how
much weight the span has to support, including
seismic or weather related loads such as ice and
snow. We use steel and wood in the beam, along
with other joining procedures to make the
construction more robust than code requires.
We utilize computer programs on-site to calculate
simple or advanced beam spans. We can calculate
beams in dimensional wood in any species, LVL
lumber, and steel beams in many shapes such as I-
beams. Those calcs are fed into the structural
drawings and blueprints that are reviewed, stamped
and approved by the local juristiction.
Beam calculation areas include:
Main structural beams
Window and door headers
Garage door headers
Floor joist
Attic loads
Columns
Footings
Cantilever beams
