Didn’t you have a thread on this several months back? What were the other alternatives?


No. That was for a 90 foot span. I was just hoping to be able to get a pickup across that. I need to get full sized trucks over this bad boy.

If those dimensions are right, you've probably got W12x40 beams out there. My scratched out calcs say if you had all new condition Grade 36 steel out there, it would be close but it should hold it up. I don't like where that splice is though.

I would not recommend without more detailed measurements to accurately assess.
