Well that's a bit of a result - I couldn't say for sure myself, but it would probably be helpful to know how long the RSJ extends beyond your proposed square corner.
-
Fill yer boots, would be my gut instinct from what I can see.
It's only a brick wide and not behaving as an arch, in terms of support. It's not keyed.
-
Wow a bring arch, they are usually plaster...somes times I have found acro props in boxing.
-
It's hard to say without seeing it in person.
I would suggest getting a qualified person to give you an idea of how compromised that RSJ is given the rust visible on the web in your photo.
EDIT if it's just surface rust, then removal of the rust and a fresh coat of red oxide paint would be a good idea.

We had a beam not dissimilar to that, it was supported by absolutely fuck all. Make sure you see the ends of yours before you make any assumptions.
-
You need the RSJ to have min 100mm bearing at each end.. Can you expose any more of the beam to see it's extents.. It should really be sitting on a padstone at each end.. Shouldn't be any issue straightening the wall up..

If I square this arch myself am I going to die? My hunch is no due to the beefy rsj but wouldn't mind sharing the blame should the worst happen. Thanks.
