I need an advise from a structural engineer. I want to design a small steel construction able to support 35 metric tonnes (truck loaded) I want to use 4 IPE 360 of 12m (Galvanized), joined (length between IPE 60cm), length between the IPE: 1,3m, on concrete foundation separated by 10 metres. The deck is in wood. What configuration should I use to design it. Does my solution fit with the load?

Thanks for your help.

You don't need advice, you need a Structural Engineer. Someone could get hurt. You question is contrary to the purpose of this forum. It would be irresponsible to respond to your post.
 
Do you know what preliminary engineering means? Of course I'll go for a structural detailed engineering. The proposition was just to have an idea. My main concern is to have the rigth configuration for load study. Anyway thanks for your very nice answer, and forget about it.
