Hi there,
I have a pile foundation supporting a PRMB connected on the perimeter with grade beams and void form underneath. I would like to run grade beams through the interior of the building from one pedestal to another but I am wondering if it is necessary to have void form under the interior grade beams and if so would I need to have the void form only in the area where it connects to the exterior piles? Am I defeating the purpose of the void form if I connect the interior grade beams to the exterior foundation without void form under them? My main reason for wanting the grade beams is to help support lateral forces from the exterior columns
