VerifiedStructuralEng : Hello
StructuralEng : how are you doing? I'll be happy to assist you.
StructuralEng : I'm driving right now. Can I get back to you in an hour?
I can offer all of this design (including sketches where needed for connections) as an additional service. I will have additional questions for you to properly engineer everything, but I can do this for you today with the sketches included.
The quick answers to your questions are
1. It depends, they need to be engineered. These will themselves need posts or beefed up connections.
2. pack the web with wood and thru-bolt it.
3. They can be steel or wood, but the connections with wood become difficult to provide the stability requirements required for AISC for a steel beam.
