Slab is a typical waffle PT slab on grade. Does anyone know about the forces in the grade beams if a horizontal joint is installed? As in pouring the grade beams first with draped cables then the 4" PT slab on top. Leaving 8" at perimeter for slab cable installation. I am concerned about the shear transference.
