| Hello
I am looking for some guidance, I am building a room inside a pole barn. It will be 16' wide X 20' Deep. The Ceiling above will be for storage of normal household type items. One side of the room will have a stud wall the other needs to be open. I want to put a steel beam on that side to carry the ceiling load. I have found a sizing chart and have figured the beam size. I would like anyone to jump in and tell me what you think. The Formula I used I found on the web. the design loads are as follows:
I came up with a 9.92 kips
Any thoughts? Thank you for your time

| A PE stamp is normally required for steel beams. The beam cannot be sized without a detailed drawing of the application. |
