Removal of a load bearing wall
I am a Civil Engineering student at Uni of Liverpool, UK. I have an assignment to design a beam to support the removal of a load bearing wall for a 3 storey residential building.
I am not asking anyone to do it for me, but asking if anyone has any links/ copies of any documents with examples of the calculations involving the removal of a load bearing wall.
Many thanks in advance.

I don't have any links for you but if I had to do it, I would build temporary support walls on both sides, remove the wall & in it's place, install a steel I-beam header.

wouldn't that defeat the purpose of education ? ce's & architects routinely use pre-sketch'd details on their plans
