Had an interesting query from the formwork/shoring engineers today.
They have a note saying that their formwork has not been designed to take loads imposed by PT. So he has requested a hyperstatic loading plan.
However... I think that the loads imposed by the PT will be minimal because at the time of stressing (~7 days) the structural connection between the slab and column will be much more stiff compared to the adjacent props and thus take the majority of the hyperstatic load.
Has anyone else produced a hyperstatic loading plan or encountered a similar request?
