We've been finding it rather difficult to source any helpful information/guidelines pertaining to temporary works around suspended post-tensioned slabs in the UK.
Thus far, we have found several sources that cite "backpropping, to potentially more than one level, should be considered," followed by a proviso that the simplified methods for the arrangement of props cannot be applied to post-tensioned slabs. cf. CS140, CS TR43 etc.
I would be most appreciative if anyone could provide any information on this issue or even direct us towards appropriate British/European guidelines, as sparse as they may be.
Cheers in advance.
