Is there any way to design a hollow core without using finite element?

When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Hollow core
It's difficult to produce openings in the floor/roof without adding beam.
It's difficult to adequately tie the HC to walls and meet ACI development criteria (without using a vast array of embedded plates).
It's difficult to alter once in place should the owner want additional openings, etc.
I could go on but I'm just finishing up a large HC project (the design/build contractor's choice not mine) and I HATE the system with a passion.

No, I don't work for a precaster, but I do know a good product when I see one.
