Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.
It is a violation of code. When pouring concrete there is often a lot of pressure, not to mention boots, placed on wireways in the pour. This could cause the coil of the bx to separate, exposing the conductors to metal edges and to the chemical reactions of the concrete.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

Can you run electrical wire's in load bearing wall?
Yes, you can run electrical wires in a load bearing wall.
How safe are electrical outlets to sleep by?
Yes, it is perfectly safe. An outlet is just a place where electricity is available when you need it. It can do you no harm whatsoever by sleeping next to it any more than sleeping next to a electrical cord plugged into that outlet and then run up to a lamp or clock next to your bed. I assume you are worried about the magnetic field created. This field is so low that it is barely detectable at an outlet.

Size 134 kva cable?
A 134 kVA cable typically refers to the size of cable required for a 134 kilovolt-ampere electrical load. The size of the cable needed will depend on factors such as the length of the cable run, the voltage drop allowed, and the type of insulation and conductor material required to safely carry the current. It is recommended to consult with a qualified electrical engineer or contractor to determine the specific cable size needed for your application.
How do you calculate the cable size for a run of 30 meters?
To calculate the cable size for a 30-meter run, you need to consider the current rating of the circuit, voltage drop limits, and the type of cable insulation. Use a cable sizing calculator or consult a professional electrician to determine the appropriate cable size to ensure safety and efficiency of the electrical installation.
