We're looking at a sawn beam that checks for bending, shear, deflection, and bearing. The example is a roof beam with dry service conditions at normal temperatures and roof sheathing, with no lateral torsional buckling considered. We're designing this using ASD, and the beams are spaced 16 inches on center, with the material being a number one Douglas fir large. I show you how to input key properties and loads, set the number of plies, and the beam plan length. We also set the support types and the roof with sheets. I explain how to calculate the required section modulus, pick a member, and recalculate the size factor CF. We also calculate deflections and check for bearing. I show you how to use ClearCalx to see a summary of all the factors considered and how to see more information about each calculation in detailed mode. No action is requested from you, but this Loom will help you understand how to use our wood beam calculator.
