Good day. I do have a question regarding the edge distance of the cast-in channel on a post-tension slab. We got a case where the anchorage of the post-tension slab is overlapping with the cast-in channels. Below is the drawing of the channel with the post-tension terminations.
What edge distance should be considered for the cast-in channel? Should it be from the edge of the channel to the edge of the termination even though the pt is casted along with the concrete (same like a rebar)?
Attached is the link to the drawing:

Laurence,
After speaking to one of our HAC Specialists, there is not a general rule of thumb for how to approach your scenario, as it is a case-by-case determination. With that being said, if you could provide sketches, project information, etc to our HAC Engineering Team at US+CA.HAC@Hilti.com, they would be glad to assist you.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.
Regards,
Bryan
