Anybody have designed hollow core slab for flat slab system
(OP)
Hi all,
I've designed the flat slab with column head for a four storey building. Client asked me to changed the solid slab into hollow core slab. I have never done this before, anybody had experience on that?
THANKS

This is a major change. The diaphragm issues are completely different. Unless your building is pretty small, you'll have to design support members between columns.
Basically, you're client is asking you tp design a different building. They should reimburse you for this change.
