I need to remove the existing precast lintel and 2 courses of 8" cmu's to raise the 10'6" wide opening to 96 1/6". The poured cmu bond beam shall remain. I am planning to install a W8x15 A500 Gr. B beam 12' long. This is a residential house with a second wood frame floor above and shingle roof. Is this beam adequate? Also how do I brace the beam for stability?
