Hello,
I had a structural engineer calculate which steel beam I need to remove the 30cm (12 inches) load-bearing wall.
HEB 260, 5250 mm (206 inches)
HEA 120, 2300 mm (91 inches)
Since I can't reach the engineer over the weekend and want to finish the work now, I need to know the number of supports required. Does anyone have experience with this?
I have now temporarily supported the ceiling with 4 adjustable 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 in place.
Is that sufficient?

Hello "tester23".
You are asking about something that will significantly affect the structural stability of a building. Without exception, none of the forum members here can realistically know which loads the responsible structural engineer intends to transfer and how, or which existing foundations will be used for this purpose.
The participants in this forum cannot possibly provide you with an accurate answer to your question based on guesswork.
The risk that all the supports you hastily installed may need to be removed again is not worth the wait of 48 hours until the structural engineer returns to their workplace on Monday.
Note: Structural engineering aspects clearly should not be handled by non-professionals in construction!
Best regards, KlaRa

Without exception, everyone participating in this forum likely has no knowledge of which loads the responsible structural engineer intends to transfer and how, as well as through which existing foundations.
It is impossible for the forum members to provide you with an accurate answer to your question based on speculation. The risk that all the supports you hurriedly installed might have to be removed again is not worth waiting 48 hours until the structural engineer returns to the office on Monday.
Remember: Structural engineering matters clearly do not belong in the hands of non-professionals!

Regards, KlaRaThis is a standard beam intended to replace a straight wall. I thought it would be possible to determine the load capacity of an HEA beam at 5 meters (16 feet) in length and then calculate the load per support so that the total number would simply add up. Why is it so complicated that a structural engineer absolutely must calculate this?
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 is about the number of required supports needed to carry a load in a specific local situation that we do not know.
Yes, a structural engineer or at least a civil engineer who is personally familiar with the building should review this!
