Good job! 8" beam is better than 6" for a 16 ft span. Looks like it'll work but you're relying on the 1.6mm thick corrugations to hold up that beam. Throw a small 1.5" or 2" HSS down to the floor to hold that load over the long run. Would have been better in the outside corrugations but oh well. Make sure to hit all that steel with zinc primer before paint. Looks like you're a great welder. Keep it up.
I 100% agree with you. I spent many days agonizing over this very issue of relying only on the corrugated steel. I would have needed to change my whole floor plan to incorporate support columns In the long run the only weight bearing load will be the weight of the roof and maybe a bbq grill and beer. But yesterday I came up with a fix and a solution. Stay tuned to see the fix.
