I have a w-8 x 18 (cut to 16' length) I beam mounted in a deadman anchor vertically like a Sign Pole. I need it to support an 800' load with wind resistance.
Attachment point is 11' high. Load is 240 square foot. Using 20psf, I get 52,800'# which the beam needs to support.
I need to figure out current beam strength and how much additional reinforcement I need.
I would like to drill and epoxy #8 rebar around the beam into the foundation and encase the beam in a concrete column.
I am seeking help with this design and / or a Pennsylvania licensed engineer who would make me a stamped sketch.
Any help is appreciated!
