I am working on design of 11 story condo with 8" PT flat plate. Shape/column layout is wacky, but lets say for talking purposes that building is a 240' long trapezoid, with building width 136' on one end, 72' on the other end. The area where I would like to place a pour strip has max column spacing approx 28'. Would you use a narrow pour strip in the middle of the bay (most likely requiring shoring to be left in place for 30 days minimum), or use a wide pour strip and cantilever from the columns at either side to the pour strip?
