Post tension concrete flat plate with irregular column spacing

Post tension concrete flat plate with irregular column spacing

Post tension concrete flat plate with irregular column spacing

(OP)
When designing post tensioned concrete flat plate with irregular column spacing (ie. when one column strip in one span intersects another column strip of another span running perpendicular and the columns in both direction don't line up), would you consider the effect of any concentrated forces from one column strip on another column strip it's intersecting?

Would you also know any articles or reports from magazine and journals which may be related to this topic?

RE: Post tension concrete flat plate with irregular column spacing

Please read section 5.3.8 in

Post-Tensioning Manual
5th Editon
Post Tensioning Institute

in which the method of balancing loads is put to good use for plates with irregular layouts.
