My beam does not need calculation! Unnecessary risk, or a logical decision?

Reinforced concrete beam - is critical structures, which should be based on strength.But in my case, there are reasons that, in my opinion enable us to neglect this matter.

Now all designers and experts will shout in one voice, that to do so in any case can not, and probably will be right... But only on one side.

I'll show you another ...

✅ It's about the beam over a span, I filled in the monolith with Laying netsIn the house of aerated concrete, which I build with their own hands.

1️⃣ The real burden on my beam.

Real - are the ones that will influence it in the course of operation.

So, the bottom line is that her hardly will make any effort. Since it is located along the future joists, and bearing a point on it will not. So the only thing she needed to survive - it's own weight.

2️⃣ Gain.

However, it further strengthened Boden, passing over it joists.

❗ To this end, I specifically with reinforcement, made of studs embedded.

3️⃣ It turns out to mean a beam, and in fact do not.

Then it turns out is a logical question:

And why do I need it, if you do not carry any load, and does not play any role?

✅ No. The role she is still there. And it is, basically, in a further strengthening of my not quite powerful Laying nets.

Who keeps track of my building, I know that its cross section is 100 to 150 mm, and not bearing wall 100 by 100 mm (why I did read here). Therefore, such a connection between the walls, It makes it concrete ring is much more reliable.

As a result, the beam section 200 to 150 has been selected by eye.

And my eye finds it sufficient, For the above purposes.

❗ But this case I think the exception, and the calculation of a more important structures should certainly be treated accordingly.
