If you do an internet search, you will find a lot of information.
f you have a specific question, please post.
Most of commercial finite element software are capable of designing a transfer slab.
Sometimes upper columns are discontinued/stopped at certain level. Therefore their loads are needed to be transferred to lower structure, from there to the foundations.
Concrete or steel transfer beam/girder or a thick slab is used to accomplish this.
