1960's Flexicore Hollow Core Slab 1'-4"x8" Safe Load Tables
1960's Flexicore Hollow Core Slab 1'-4"x8" Safe Load Tables
(OP)
Does anyone have the safe load tables for Flexicore hollow core slab panels made in the 60's? The building was built in 1966.

I also checked out 'archive.org' that has a digital library of old books/catalogs etc - nothing there for Flexicore load tables.
I think you will be back to first principles - do some invasive probing and scanning to determine strand diameter and # strands per 16" wide plank, and knowing the section properties develop your capacities from scratch - make some relevant assumptions for f'c and fpu.
Above graphic is from PCI 1st Edition for Flexicore planks - similar to JAE's PCI link.

A bit hard to read, so see attached PDF copy.
Unless you definitively know your tensile steel area (and/or have existing precast shop drawings) you are still going to have to verify your 'as-built' conditions via invasive probing etc.
