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.

Basically, it is 4 inch PVC that is 2 feet long. I filled it with concrete and at the top is a little metal eyelet lag screw.
This part pulled out of the concrete (before I ever used it). Im not sure why, maybe I added too much water to the concrete.
But now that it's loose is there any way to fix it? Perhaps some sort of bonding agent? I don't need the weight of the concrete for such a small volume, but it's function is to hold the tent down, so if it did get windy the screw would pull up.
Thank you.
