Design and Draw a Steel Beam For the House

• Use the Steel Beam design link to design the steel beam in the basement in the location specified in the initial sketch.
• Keep all Calculations in the Appropriate Format
• Draw in the Steel Beam in your CAD drawing.
  • Your beam must be created at a suitable height that a 2x6 (lumber size) laid on top of the beam will be equal in height to the top of the sill plate connected to the foundation wall.
  • You must make a pocket in the concrete foundation wall at least 3.5 inches into each wall to support the ends of the beam.
  • You must extrude a reasonably accurate section profile of the beam.
  • You must put 3" dia. steel posts at suitable intervals to support the beam.
    • Your posts will need a hole (just slightly larger than the post) clipped from the bsmt floor slab and it will need a 16"x16"x8" thick square footing under it
