Depends on how much weight is above it!! but on 1 -2 story wood framed structures triple 2x12's glued and nailed will do the trick

What is maximum span on a double 2x12 beam non load bearing?
Not sure why you need a beam that bears no load. You can go 22'. Beyond that it needs to be broken down to shorter lengths.
How do you find load bearing walls in a 2 story?
You will need to go to the level above the wall. If girders, joists or another wall is supported by your initial wall, then that becomes a 'load'. Supported by by the wall downstarirs, Thus bearing a load
How would you identify a load bearing wall?
This depends on the type of construction.My guess is that you want to either take down or open up a wall and that's why you're asking this.You really should get a pro to look at it before you go knocking anything down,because any wall could potentially be load bearing.Go down into the basement and look up at the ceiling, you'll see the joists.These are heavy boards that are 1 1/2" to 2" wide and 8" to 12 " tall.Unless the house is really tiny, they will be attached to the main beam that's got some posts or a wall supporting it.If the wall you want to mess with runs in the same direction as the main beam, it may be load bearing, especially if there's a flight of stairs attached to it.If it sits directly on top of the main beam, it's definitly load bearing and you'll need to add more structural elements to make up for what ever you're planning to take out.If the wall runs in the direction of the joists, it mat be a curtain wall. (not load bearing).Try and find the joist directly under the wall. Sometimes they're doubled up under a curtain wall, but if they're 3 or more joists under the wall, or there's stairs attached to it, don't mess with it.
What size of beam do you need to span 18 ft?
For ceiling joists, the minimum dimension per the IBC is a 2 x 12 inch, with spacing dependent on the load. Ideally, these would be screwed to blocking between the joists.
What size beam do you need to span 10 meters?
250 mm x 400mm

Load bearing walls?
need more info. Don't know it is that you want for sure. A load bearing beam is any beam that supports weight bearing down or suspended from it. The name says it all. Need to know exactly what it is you want to know
How can you tell an interior load bearing wall?
Center of a structure is usually load bearing. Look in attic or basement to see where the support is.
Calculate the end bearing length for a 10 inch by 16 inch timber beam if the beam reacion is 15000lbs and the compressive stress is 300psi?
You need at least 50 square inches of bearing (at least 2x6 wall for a 10" wide beam). You also have to make sure to have proper pad below and enough studs (of filled cells) in the wall to accomodate the load.
Does a 4 X 8 X 16 steel beam need a center support when it has only one floor level that it supports. The room it supports is 16.5 foot wide?
you should be fine if you are just supporting the load of the floor. If you are putting increased load on the beam to support the roof somehow that could be a problem.
Are exterior walls load bearing?
Depends on where it is. If it is the center wall that runs down the middle of the house under the peak of the roof, then yes. Usually the ceiling joist are lapped on top of this wall. Any outside wall is also. cross wall around upstair bath may be also. Almost any wall can me moved and a beam put in it's place but you need to know what you are doing to do it. Broad, general rule of thumb is any wall running the same direction as the main peak of the roof probably is a bearing wall.
Do non load bearing walls need a header?
No.
Will a cantilever slab have beam at its fixed end and what is the load distribution for it like triangular......?
it will need a suppot element , depper and stiffer concrete members will act as support
What size of beam do you need to span 14 ft?
That really depends upon the load you need to carry and the material that the beam is made of.
How thick does a wood beam need to be to support 15 kilos perpendicular to the grain?
This depends on the type of wood and how evenly distributed both the load and the supports for the piece of wood are.
Why does front wheel bearing need pre-load?
Because in most cases they are a tapered roller bearing.
What is use of calculating support reaction of a beam?
you will need that to calculate the strength and deflection of the beam, and also strength of the support itself
