My company do post tension beam and slab design.but when they do design,they assume moment transfer from slab or beam to the column should not greater than 2.5M/bd2.I think that is not correct.How should I calculate that moment?any guidance will be appreciated as I am amateur in pt design.
Thanks

sorry the formula is not 2.5M/bd2.they assume moment transfer to column should less than 2.5bd2.if the moment is larger than that they reduce the column stiffness.
 
Have a read thru thread167-280869 I remember a good discussion there. For the slab design I considered very little moment transfer into the column below. For punching shear checks I use a column stiffness of at least 50%.
 
thanks for the link.I will study that one.
