Basement Situation

This is a cracked floor joist in the basement directly under all the slumping going on upstairs. I wonder if they are related? I spotted another joist that was cracked not far from this one. The Architect, Bill, preliminarily says that the load bearing wall is incorrectly constructed bringing all the weight of the roof and the upstairs to bear on one of the columns in the kitchen. The load needs to be spread out.
I look forward to the visit of the structural engineer. I'm not doing any work until I get these plans which give a specific course of action. In the mean time I need to find a job.
