    What about the inner two-column system? What if I change the corner column from one to two then? Is robustness still an issue?

    Cantilever Transfer Slab, Would you design it this way?

    Yes, the slab will be designed by other PT contractor. We will discuss with the PT at later stage after we set out the structural plan. I am not very familiar with PT to be honest but I do learn something from the discussion above!

    Cantilever Transfer Slab, Would you design it this way?

    I have uploaded a sketch below showing the project I am designing, This transfer slab is going to support 5 stories above. Because there are bedroom above and I couldn't shift the columns above inwards so I have to put them on external and being supported by this transfer slab. The loads of each...
