Structural engineers eh!

Ridiculous. I wouldn't mind knowing what fee he charged for that.

 

[tony1851]

I'd like to see his figures.

 

[RonnyRaygun]

I reckon he must be in cahoots with the steel stockholder...

 

[^woody^]

It's probably a wanna be SE with a pirated copy of super beam. I can't see a proper SE putting his name to that.

 

[noseall]

It's not a 'he' but a 'she'.

 

[tony1851]

That explains it.

Looking at those calcs, where has she got 'ceiling storage 5.0kN/m2' from?

That's about 100 lbs/sq ft, unless I'm missing something.

Seeing the pics, those beams just look so 'wrong'...........

 

[jeds]

Off the top of my head I reckon a single 203x133x30 would be plenty.

 

[Nozzle]

Holy crap, that's bomb proof. We have a single glulam beam for a longer length than that!

There is an other beam directly below one of the purlins (254mm x 146mm x 43kg) which will be used to support the high level storage area.

We managed to get this up with the help of a delivery lorry and his Hiab.
I will post a section drawing shortly....
