Design and Draw a Wood Beam For the House

• Use the Wood Beam design lesson to design a wood beam in the basement in the location specified in the initial sketch.
• Keep all Calculations in the Appropriate Format
• Draw in the wood beam in your CAD drawing.
  • Your beam must be created at a suitable height such that the 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 the wall to support the end of the beam. The other end will be connected to the steel beam
  • You must extrude the beam using the actual lumber size.
  • 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.
