I am using inducta, Yes it is one-way however with shallow bands and post tension slabs with no Reo for strength, if the beam has a deflection of say 10mm then the slab will have 2way action to some minor extent? Just because we stiffen the model in the FEA program does not mean this happens in...- aaronPT

Hi, I have been designing post tension slabs for around 5 years, sticking to mainly 2D software in transfer situations and FEA for complex transfer slabs/flat slabs or flat plates. To date with no issues (touch wood!) When I look at a simple office slab, for example 8m main spans, 6.5m end...- aaronPT
