Introduction
� History:
� Traditionally, tilt-up is thought of for large, warehouse structures
� The proper mindset:
15
� Don’t limit yourself and the owner based on traditional ways
to construct something. Consider tilt-up and other
alternatives!
� Tilt-up can be economically and effectively used for a wide variety of structures: office buildings, theaters, churches, retail, etc. Also in non-building structures such as retaining walls, screen walls, signs, tanks, etc.

� You are part of a design team.
� If at all possible, meet and discuss construction type possibilities with the architect and an experienced contractor early in the

with the architect and an experienced contractor early in the process so a sound decision is made.
� Design-build obviously lends itself well to this or you need an experienced team for design-bid-build.

Step 1 – Is tilt-up a viable alternative?
� Crane access: Will there be plenty of room for the crane to move in and around the site? Truck crane costs can be ~ $3000/day, so efficiently using the crane is essential to the economy of a tilt-up building.
23
essential to the economy of a tilt-up building.
� Building square footage: 5000-7000 sf is a decent rule of thumb for a minimum square footage size to economically consider tilt-up.
![Page 24: 2011.05.11 - Design of Tilt-Up Wall Systems](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032005/563db787550346aa9a8bebae/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Step 1 – Is tilt-up a viable alternative?
� Building wall height-to-floor slab width ratio is key. Ideally the panel height is less than ½ the building depth. Not a deal-breaker but definitely adds cost.

![Page 25: 2011.05.11 - Design of Tilt-Up Wall Systems](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032005/563db787550346aa9a8bebae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Step 1 – Is tilt-up a viable alternative?
� Building height:
� Don’t automatically disregard tilt-up if the building is multistory. A multistory panel isn’t any more difficult to design than a single-story panel.
25
story panel.
� 3-story buildings are reasonable without upsizing the crane that would potentially be used. 4-stories would require a bigger crane than usual. For above 4 stories you will potentially need to stack the wall panels.

Step 1 – Is tilt-up a viable alternative?
� Exterior elevations
� Will the exterior wall surface essentially be flat with some rustication joints?
� What percent of the wall is solid? As a rule of thumb, the walls
26
� What percent of the wall is solid? As a rule of thumb, the walls should be at least 60% solid for tilt-up to be economical.

Tilt-up Comparisons
� Precast
� Is there a qualified precaster in the general area? Transportation costs aren’t cheap (especially these days).
� Transportation considerations also impact the precast panel
28
� Transportation considerations also impact the precast panel dimensions that can be supplied. Precast panels are typically 8’ or 12’ wide, which can limit the openings and opportunities for architectural expression.
� The narrow panel width of precast panels can be a disadvantage compared to tilt-up if it is possible to use drilled piers and span the tilt-up panels pier-to-pier (no grade beam).

Tilt-up Comparisons
� Precast (cont.):
� Dimensional stability: Precast panels are frequently insulated. The result of the insulation between the exterior and interior panel face is a thermal gradient between the faces. The
30
panel face is a thermal gradient between the faces. The resulting gradient can cause a bow in the panel. This bow results in problems where interior finishes are connected to the panels.
� Future flexibility: Tilt-up panels are typically somewhat easier to modify in the future for new or enlarged windows, doors, louvers, etc.

Tilt-up Considerations
� Panels (cont.)
� Sandwich panels
� Can be composite or non-composite
58
� In non-composite, the inner wythe is structural
� In composite, a thermal gradient concern is present (similar to precast)
� If you use composite, make sure you are specifying a reliable connector product and have appropriate quality control measures in the field because it is big money to retrofit a failed system.

� ACI 551.1R recommendations:
� Design “with some degree of ductility to accommodate panel
123
� Design “with some degree of ductility to accommodate panel shrinkage and thermal expansion and contraction”
� Reinforcing bar anchors preferred over short headed studs
� Delay welding as long as possible to allow majority of panel shrinkage to occur

Design for Lifting & Bracing
� Analysis is often by supplier of embedded lift & bracing inserts
� EOR reviews submittal by embedded insert supplier
� Additional reinforcement &/or “stiffbacks” are sometimes required by embedded insert supplier
125
embedded insert supplier
� Multi-story, large openings with small jambs, and single layer reinforcement
� Review early in design to avoid costly measures later
� ACI 551.2R-10 states that further development of design procedures will be included in future editions

In-Plane Shear
� Typically resisted by tilt-up “shear walls”
� If high % of panel openings, may need to design as frames rather than solid shear wall elements
126
� Resistance to overturning (OT)
� Resistance to OT typically provided by panel wt., roof loads, and floor loads
![Page 127: 2011.05.11 - Design of Tilt-Up Wall Systems](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032005/563db787550346aa9a8bebae/html5/thumbnails/127.jpg)
In-Plane Shear
� Resistance to OT (continued)
� If panels alone do not provide OT capacity:
� Increase panel width &/or thickness
Anchor panel to foundation with tension tie connections, or
127
� Anchor panel to foundation with tension tie connections, or
� Connect 2 or more panels together to create a larger shear wall
� Resistance to Sliding
� ACI 551.2R states that resistance can be through combination of friction & connections to floor slab or foundation, but cautions that friction may not be allowed to resist seismic forces

Dock Walls / Retained Soil
� Lateral support is commonly provided by slab-on-ground, creating continuity as depicted in Fig 7.5 from ACI 551.2R:

![Page 129: 2011.05.11 - Design of Tilt-Up Wall Systems](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032005/563db787550346aa9a8bebae/html5/thumbnails/129.jpg)
Dock Walls / Retained Soil
� For large slab to roof span relative to slab to foundation span, continuity has often been neglected and panel is designed as simply supported from slab to roof.
� More rigorous analysis that considers continuity is presented in ACI 551.2R – Example B.6
129
ACI 551.2R – Example B.6
� Large horizontal forces in slab and at foundation must be fully developed
� Consider larger span from roof to footing that may occur temporarily during construction
![Page 130: 2011.05.11 - Design of Tilt-Up Wall Systems](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032005/563db787550346aa9a8bebae/html5/thumbnails/130.jpg)
Multi-Story Panels
� Example problem is presented in ACI 551.2R – Example B.5
� Moment diagram for continuous span is determined without considering P∆ effects.
� Moment magnifier is determined for each span per ACI 318
130
� Moment magnifier is determined for each span per ACI 318 Section 14.8.3 and applied to both max. positive and max. negative moments.
� Consider lifting stresses for larger spans that may occur temporarily during construction.

Large Concentrated Gravity Loads
� What are options if wall is compression controlled?
� Increase panel thickness
� Move panel joints &/or openings to provide more “b”
131
� Design & detail as “column” per ACI 318 Ch. 10
� Add pilaster at concentrated load
� Add steel column at concentrated load

Design Tips
� Repetition/modularity is key to efficiency & economy
� Look out for…
� Hanging/spandrel panels
132
� Panel to panel connections
� Panel hold-down connections at shear walls
� “L” and “T” – shaped panels
� Small jambs adjacent to large openings
� Heavy girder bearing on skinny jambs or panel joints

Design Tips
� Look out for… (continued)
� Lifting stresses for multi-story panels
� Dock wall & retained soil – details & load path at slab & footing
133
� Frequent openings may require moment frames (vs. shear walls)
� Tall & narrow shear wall panels (check OT)
� Reveal joints – may affects bar location for exterior face bars
� Out-of-plane deflection at small jambs adjacent to large openings
� Embedded plates near the ends of panels

� Corner joint details at “big box” buildings (thermal expansion/contraction in roof)
� Too-small scupper size at parapets in “big box” buildings
� QC dimensions!!!!
� Site visit prior to first panel pour is recommended
