Fortunately I haven't had to do this yet. I agree with the above post. Try to locate the splice at or near zero moment locations. For part of some research I did while getting my master I looked into trying to splice some beams using circular hollow tube steel members. Prying had a major...
Couple of responses here.
First to Jae...there is code for studs under combined tension and shear in ACI 530.
If it were my building I would try a fix before having them pull out the stud. If you are bearing joist on top of an angle which is improperly anchored into the side of the CMU...
While I may be very very late on this topic. The florida department of transportation has a MathCAD program available (free) to download. It computes Biaxial moment interaction diagrams for column design. It's good for beams too. Just use P =0, and check the moment capacity at the right...
