SP-4 references ACI 318 sections. Keep a copy of ACI 318-14 PDF open to verify strength requirements (especially for stripping time – Section 6.2).

One of the most technically demanding chapters involves the multi-story construction process. When pouring a slab on the 10th floor, the loads are transferred down through the shoring system to the lower floors. The concrete on the 9th and 8th floors might not yet have reached full strength.
