I'm looking at a self build lean-too conservatory which because it is a low cottage, will have a low angled roof and limited capacity for high ratio beams, so I'm looking at flitch or glulam beams.
I'm going round in circles a bit trying to find some design instructions and calculations via Mr Google and wondered if anyone here could supply a short cut to my searches.
Thanks Rob
Not done this sort of calculation for a long while, but have recently found this site useful ..
I can recommend what was Mr. Bryer's excellent Superbeam... There was[1] a working demo that would be fine[2] for messing about with if you don't need to produce nice printouts for building control etc. (demo is pint inhibited and plasters demo over everything)
Here seems to be the place:
Yes, yes, yes!

When we used them the local suppler was happy to do all this.
Worth a try asking them.
