The w is load per inch of beam, 3750 lbs/300" span=12.5 lbs per inch uniformly bearing on the beam.īamalama is full of fine southern yellow pine. Maximum bending moment is in the center of the beam (notice the graph) Scroll down that page and pick up DA-6 and the 2005 Supplement-Design Values for Wood Construction There is a pamphlet of beam formulas for various conditons here Assuming very, very light loading of 10 pounds per square foot I'll call the load 3750 pounds uniformly distributed along the length of this simple span.
