Does e-force use Ram Concept software? I don't see any Ram Concept licenses there, though many of the PT suppliers do carry a license for design work.

I don't see a problem to consider the slab reinforcement myself, but if you wanted to make sure all the beam required reinforcement was located within the T beam stem, you could trim the strip (Column Strip) to "Beam Rectangle". Or you could make a narrow column strip with middle strip flanges and design the Column Strip for CS + MS resultants.
