How many construction supports are needed?

Hello,

I had a structural engineer calculate what kind of steel beam I need for removing the load-bearing wall of 30 cm.

HEB 260 5250 mm
HEA 120 2300 mm

Since I can't reach the structural engineer over the weekend, but want to finish now, I need the number of supports.
Does anyone have experience with this?

I have now supported the ceiling with 4 construction props on each side of the wall and also in the basement.

So, in total, on the ground floor and basement, I have 16 supports standing.

Is that enough?

Hello "tester23". You are asking here about something whose answer will have significant effects on the stability of a building. Without exception, everyone represented here in the forum certainly has no idea which loads the responsible structural engineer intends to transfer how and over which existing foundations. The participants of this forum cannot possibly give you (out of thin air) an accurate answer to your question. The risk that all the supports you installed in excessive haste will have to be dismantled again is disproportionate to the waiting time of 48 hours until the structural engineer is back at his workplace on Monday. Note: Structural aspects undoubtedly do not belong in the hands of laypersons in construction! ------------------------- Regards: KlaRa

This is a completely normal beam that is supposed to replace a straight wall. I thought you could find out the load-bearing capacity of an HEA beam at 5m length and the load capacity of the individual support and that way you could simply come up with the number. Why should it be so complicated that a structural engineer absolutely has to calculate it?

Hello "tester".
With all due respect, you asked the following:
"Since I cannot reach the structural engineer over the weekend, but want to finish now. I need the number of supports. Has anyone had experience with this?"
Your question was about the number of necessary supports to carry a load in a local situation that we do not know.
Yes, a structural engineer or at least a civil engineer who personally knows the object should take a look at it!
