Hi all

i would like to know how to estimate the force transfer at shear wall and slab junction. here in my case the slab is post tensioned slab. Applying precompression of 125 psi to the slab.

How to estimate the force transfer due to precompression at the junction of wall and slab to avoid cracks.

Please help and your input will always be appreciated.
