Remove door and open up

[ottoangel]

But that's good. Bathrooms and toilets are "heavy" rooms that need reinforcement underneath.
It might be an optical illusion, but in your photos, it looks like there's a small gap between the beam and the two standing studs on the right, at least on the one you want to remove. If that's the case and the beam is hanging on the two nails, it's also a sign that the stud isn't bearing much load...

Attaching pictures.

I would not hesitate at all to remove the left rule. The beam itself, however, you should keep because it is there for a reason, one might think.

 

[tergo]

yes, probably there are 2 floor joists on it

Yes, the beam should stay. The only thing to be removed is the stud on the left.

 

[Rabbithole]

The beam is nailed into both studs, at least it looks like the stud is notched. It should still be possible to remove it as it is supported by the next stud. Possibly screw this stud into the 3rd one.

Theoretically, it is not possible to determine from the images which of the standing studs are load-bearing. It could, by the way, be both. It is likely fine to remove the left one, but it's not difficult to check if that's really the case. What are the dimensions of the beam and the studs, and how long is the beam? The loads can be easily calculated using the floor plans.

That rule is fundamental and cannot be removed without being replaced by something else.

Theoretically, it is not possible to say from the images which of the standing studs is load-bearing. It could be both, for that matter. It is likely okay to remove the left one, but it's not difficult to check to make sure that's the case. What are the dimensions of the beam and the studs, and how long is the beam? The loads can easily be calculated with the help of the floor plans.

Need to remove more gypsum and get back with the length of the beam.

Do you mean both studs are load-bearing? Do you attach a door frame to load-bearing studs?

 

[Matti_75]

Are both studs load-bearing you mean? Do you attach door frames to load-bearing studs?

Yes, both studs are load-bearing. Yes, doors are attached to load-bearing studs, imagine an exterior wall where all studs are load-bearing and there you attach both windows and doors.

Removed plaster on the other side now. The beam is 115 cm.

1160x165x45 for the beam. Studs 70x45.

From a span perspective, you can remove the studs closest to the door. However, it is doubtful whether the remaining studs are sufficient for the vertical loads. This depends on the strength class. The simplest solution is to screw on an additional stud on each side. Alternatively, replace with studs of a higher class (at least C 24).

How do you think about adding additional studs?

 

[justusandersson]

Either you replace the A studs with C 24 studs or you screw the B studs to the A studs. All according to the attached image.
