Ridiculous - When designing this with a 3/8 or 1/4" steel plat (Flitch Beam) You can not extend either beyond its limits
steel bending 22000 psi wood bending 1200 to 1400 psi so wood is 5-6% of steel in bending
the wood hols the steel vertical but I NEVER considered the combination as contributing to the capacity.
so OSB that is not linked or continuous or rated in bending??? adds dead load and detracts from the 2x12's capacity..............
