I am interested on everyone's comments. I see alot of restraint cracking in post tension slabs which have not accounted for restraining elements by isolating them, adjusting the P/A or adding nominal reinforcement in these areas.
If you look at the capacity of the sections, they...

Anyone had any experience in design of a 25m clear floor span where form work is not possible? (note second direction is only 8m)
I am looking at either Precast T sections? or steel trusses in main direction with a precast flooring system in the second direction between the trusses?
Any ides...

I have designed several PT structures over the years, lately I have started to see a great deal of cracking occurring (not on my structures) between the columns in the top of the slabs 90 degrees to the beams. My take on this is the slabs are spanning 2 way rather than the 1 way the...
