You need to provide more information in order to do the calculations correctly.
Basically, you are looking for the tributary area that is supported by the micro-lam and you multiply the live loads and dead loads of the floor and roof above that it will support. You take the total and compare it to standard beam sizing charts to get the proper size.
Double 2x12 header with footing and lolly column at mid span of 30 feet.
U could get micro beam to do span without column, but I do not know size. Would have to check with manufacturer.
