In this webinar Patrick Hayes, Technical Director at IStructE discusses what to consider when assessing the safe design and construction of a transfer slab. How to approach the design, including appropriate sizing and Modelling. Patrick highlights a gap in previous codes on how to treat shear and how the recent IStructE guide addresses this.
Transfer slabs offer flexibility to designers, enabling a change in column grid above and below the slab to suit different layouts and uses. Although they are a popular solution, transfer slabs require careful design and recent guidance from the IStructE fills a previous knowledge gap and aims to promote best and safe practice.
