There are basically two methods, firstly you could use a very strong form of adhesive, but for obvious reasons this is not recommended, secondly, fasteners are generally used like bolts or another piece of metal strapping the wood that gets bolted on. Keep in mind that wood absorbs moisture and metal rusts, so make sure you seal both materials well.

To remove 8 feet of load bearing wall and replace with steel beam what size beam?
With a span of only 8" you can probably use a wood beam, but without a set of plans no one can accurately answer your question.
What is the main advantage of a flitch beam?
the main advantage of flitch beam is to strengthen the beam and decrease the deflection (∆) in the beam by decreasing elasticity (E) because the elasticity of steel is much bigger than a wood beam. their ratio is about 15 to 20 (n=15 to 20).
What size of I-beam will span 22 feet with a mid-point load of 850 lbs.?
Depends on the material the I-beam is made out of. Steel? Is it a wood I-joist? And I-beams come in different "flavors" as regards the geometry and cross section of the web. Variables in a question make for a variable answer.
What is a Laminated Beam?
A laminated beam is a beam that is made of thin layers of a material (Called lamina). An example is glulam beams, which are thin layers of wood glued together to make a large beam.
Where are Joint locations in multi-layer wood beam?
Guidelines are; 1. Staggered 2. Uniform
Wood or steel beam to support a roof ceiling or floor?
There are two criteria for making the decision. 1) How much weight is the beam carrying. Wood beams look great and can carry most residential loads. Commercial buildings often use steel beams to carry the snow wind and floor loads, but heavy timber can also do the trick. 2) How should the wood or steel beam look? If the building is prettier using wood, that might be the way to go. If steel looks better - use steel. Sometimes a combination of wood and steel is perfect.

What is a post and beam home?
A post and beam home is one that uses wood posts (often 6x8's or 8x8's) and wood beams (6x10's, 8x10's or bigger) to make the structural frame. The beams are exposed on the inside of the house and are quite beautiful to look at.

How do you join wood beams?
Wood beams can be joined in different ways. Traditional joinery uses mortise and tenon connections with wooden pegs drilled through to hold the beams together. Steel plate joinery uses metal plates and bolts. Simpson is a company that makes simple fasteners for wood connections. Steel connections can be made to order through a local steel fabricator. the important thing is to make sure that the joinery is strong enough to carry the loads that the beam carry. Often the help of a professional engineer is required to size the beam and connections whether wood or steel is used.
What is harder steel or wood?
