I have decided that I would like to convert my outdoor covered patio into a second floor deck that I can entertain guests and view the sunset while partaking of my favorite liquid beverage. The new 14 x 40 foot patio is to be cantilevered off of the house with 14 foot long ceiling joists which are supported at the patio end by 2 - 20 foot long solid sawn lumber beams which are supported by three 10 foot tall columns. The joists will be spanned by plywood. Design the addition (except for the columns) using solid sawn lumber for the ceiling joists and the 2-20 ft beams to support the joists between the 3 columns. (Ill supply the railing and stairs) You must decide both size and spacing of the joists and size of the 2 end beams (except flooring) and show supporting calculations! Design for flexure, shear, & deflection.
