I have attached a file, can you take a look at it and answer the questions at the bottom of the sheet? Your answers will allow me to accurately model the loading and size your beam. Thanks

walkereng :

Before we get started I’d like to point out that a Professional Engineer’s standard of care typically includes a site visit to assess field conditions and get an overall understanding of the structure. This can obviously not be accomplished through the internet. The information provided here is meant for planning purposes only (general sizing and budgeting) and is based on the information provided by you. All loading cases considered are for vertical loads only, no lateral analysis has been completed. The information should be verified by a professional engineer who can visit the site to ensure that potentially important information has not been overlooked or omitted.

walkereng :

Are you able to see my attachment?

I am going to switch over to the Q&A format and if you want to, we can continue with the e-mail process. When you come back online, just reply to this last e-mail (use the e-mail account that you gave to JustAnswers) to tell me you are back. You do not need to hit the "Accept" button until we are complete and you are satisfied. Thanks.
