We are assuming that the existing wood beam is a 6"x 12" timber, and the addition of the�w column reduces its span from 20' to two spans, one of'7' and one of 13'. With the reduced span this beam is st�l inadequate a�d w�l require one ply of gang lam 1 3/4 z 11 1/4 glued and nailed to one side. If it is found that this beam is a 4"x 12" and not a 6"x 12", add one m�re gang lam of the same size. Gang lam's should have an Fb of 3100 P.S.I. � If you aze going to use a steel adjust-a post in lieu of a standard 3" steel pipe column at the new column location,the adjust-a post must have a capacity of 10 kips. We have checked the existing W 10 x 68 beam at the first�oor and it has adequate capacity f�r . this change. � � . Sincerely yours, _ I�LLSTOFTE ASSOCIATES,INC. �`•� H.

Allowing for live load of 40#/s.f. and dead load of 10#/s.f. leaves excess capacity of 4#/s.f. The cerrter beam at the garage, 5 1/2" x 13" or 6" x 14" nominal at a span of 21.33' will carry onty 294#Ilin.ft. at a deflection of L/360. The total load of 50#/s.f. at 12' span results in a total load of 600#/lin.ft. The excess load of 306#/lin.ft. can be supported by the addition of two gang- lam beams 1 3/4" x 14" glued and nailed on both sides of the presetrt beam. The total load capacity of these beams is 384#/lin.ft. added to the 294#/lin.ft. carried by the original beam making a total capacity of 778#/lin.ft,, or 178#/liu.ft. excess capacity. Live load deflection at L/360 is 480#/lin.ft. The capacity of the three members together is 550#/lin.ft. at L/360. Additional studs must be added under the beams at bearing. The gang lam beams by Structural Wood Corporation used in calculations, have an Fb of 3100 P.S.I. and an"E"of 2.0. The beam in the garage at the east wall nearest the dining room has only�about 2/3 of the load of the center beam. I think it would be a good idea to add one 1 3/4" x 14" gang-lam glued and nailed to this beam This would preverrt atry additional load to be transfen�ed to the first floor structure through the stud wall below it.
