Calculation for 14.25 feet span beam in Living Room

Floor Load for living are of resindential building

DL 12.00 psf
LL 40.00 psf
Total Load 52.00 psf
Span 14.25 ft.
Tributary Width = (11.58/2 + 1.33/2) 6.46 ft.
Total Load (plf) = Total Load (psf) x Trib. Width 335.83 plf
Reaction, R = Total Load (plf) x Span/2 2392.81 lb
Moment, M= Total Load (plf) x span^2/8 8524.39 ft-lb

Trial Section 3 1/2 x 9 1/2 PSL

Width of beam, b 3.50 in
Depth of beam, d 9.50 in
Cross section area, A 33.25 sq.in
Moment of inertia about major axis, Ixx 250.07 in^4
Moment of inertia about minor axis, I yy 33.94 in^4
Section Modulas about major axis, S xx 52.65 in^3
Section Modulas about minor axis, S yy 19.40 in^3

Design Values for Parallam PSL 2.0E

Fb (tension) 2900.00 psi
Fb (Compresion) 2900.00 psi
Fc Prll 2900.00 psi
Fc perp 750.00 psi
Fv 290.00 psi
Ft 2025.00 psi
Density 32.21 pcf
Ebend-xx 2000.00 ksi
Eminbend-xx 1016.54 ksi

Design Check
Bending Stress,fb = (M/Sxx) 1943.03 psi < 2900 psi Hence Safe
Shear Stress, fv = (R/A) 71.96 psi < 290 psi Hence Safe

Deflection Ratio

Maximum Downward deflection due to Total load 0.623 in

Allowable Downward deflection due to Total load (L/240) 0.713 in Safe
