• Engineer of Record with Additional Scope
![Page 5: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Tackling the Project
• PLANNING!!!!!!– With the Architect
• PLANNING!!!!!!– With the Engineer of Record
• PLANNING!!!!!!– With the Contractor
![Page 6: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Preliminary Design
• Know what your constraints are..Not the typical “design” issues…Think beyond the paper…know what assumptions have been made in the proposal by the contractor.– Limited Site– Crane Size– Weather
![Page 7: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Planning
• Decide the approach
• Are there any unique issues to consider?
![Page 8: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Panelizing the Building
• One of the most important steps in Design
• What is panelizing?– Determining how the walls are divided into
panels, what their shapes are and where the joints between them occur
![Page 9: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Panelizing the Building
• Coordinate with Architect and Steel Framing Engineer and Contractor
• Goal for Panel Sizes:– Maximum Panel Size– Minimize Panel Joints
![Page 10: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Panelizing the Building
• Factors to Consider– Crane Capacity and Reach– Steel Framing Layout and Bearing Locations –
Typical Embedment Pattern– Opening Locations – Adequate Jambs, Lintel
Panels, Vertically Stack Openings– Locate Girders at Center of Panel or at Joint– Footing Step Locations
![Page 11: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Panelizing the Building
• Takes the same time to lift and set a large panel as a small panel. Take Advantage.
• Efficient Panel Layout Effects the Cost of the entire project and should be considered one of the most important issues to coordinate.– Cost in Formwork– Cost in Embeds/Connections
![Page 12: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Planning the Connections
• Base Connections
• Corner Connections
• Roof Framing Connections
• Miscellaneous Connections
![Page 13: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Types of Connections
• Welded Embedded Metal– Most Common
• Embedded Inserts– Allows for Bolted Connection– Eliminates Field Welding– Accuracy in Locating
• Drilled In Anchors– Post installed
• Cast-In-Place Concrete– At Slabs
![Page 14: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Base Connections
• What type of foundation system is being used? – Continuous Footing
• Reinforced Top and Bottom layer
• Centered Under Panel
– Spread Footing• Panel Spans Corner to Corner
• Allow for Expansion and Contraction
![Page 15: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Base Connections
• Diagonal Shrinkage cracks in the corners due to restraint of bearing pads– Grout under the panels as soon as possible– Shim Packs or Grout Pads should be located ¼
from the end of the panel
![Page 16: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Base Connections
• Friction – Old Days
• Pourback Strips and Slab Dowels
• Embedded Plates or Angles– To Slab Option– To Footing Option
• Free Standing Walls
• Spandrel/Grade Beam Type
![Page 17: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pourback Strips and Slab Dowels
• Slab is poured short of the panel location with a “closure strip” of about 3’-0”.
• Dowels are “wet set” into the panel at the correct elevation to meet the center of the floor slab.
• Backfill and insert rebar between slab dowel and panel dowel.
• Closure strip is poured to finish off the slab.
![Page 18: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Pourback Strip At Dock Wall
![Page 19: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Pourback Strips and Slab Dowels
• Problems with the procedure– “Wet setting” the dowels is cumbersome
• Accurate placement
• Finishing
• Variations of Detail
– Backfilling becomes a safety concern• Braces are still attached
• Access is a problem
![Page 20: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Backfilling
• ACI 551 Section 4.10.2– Prior to backfilling, place a strip of felt over the
joint between adjacent panels below grade and pack with plastic roof cement. This prevents dirt, mud or water from leaking through the joint in the panels
![Page 21: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Embedded Base Connections
• Allows for the slab to be poured to inside face of where tilt-up panel will go
• Eliminates Backfilling on Inside of Bldg
• Connections can me made immediately
![Page 22: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Embedded Base Connections
• To Slab– Angle Embedded in the Slab, Plate Embedded in the
Panel - Welded– Consider Expansion/Contraction in Slab and Panel
• To Footing– Angle Embedded at Base of Panel– Second Angle is welded to Embed and Bolted to Ftg– Consider Additional Unbraced Length for Panel Design– Consider Corrosion– Consider Expansion/Contraction
![Page 23: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Dock High Walls
• Connection at Slab and at Footing
• Slab Connection– Resists Lateral Load– Reduces Unbraced Length for Compression
• Footing Connection– Resists Lateral Soil Pressure behind Panel
• Advantage - Base Fixity for Panel Design
![Page 24: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Panel to Panel Connections
• Are they needed?
• Not typical for tilt up
• Common in Precast
• Larger Panels and Wider Panels
![Page 25: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Panel to Panel Connections
• Tie panels together for Overturning Forces– Re-entrant Corners with Drag Strut Forces
• Laterally stabilize two adjacent panels– Use a Butterfly Connection
• Expansion and Contraction– Do not restrain any more movement with the
connection than structurally required.
![Page 26: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Corner Connections
• Thermal Bowing
• Caulked Joints can fail prematurely – Not a structural performance issue
• Expansion and Contraction– Do not restrain any more movement with the
connection than structurally required.
![Page 27: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Roof Framing Connections
• Diaphragm – Chord Connections – Continuous Angle also acts as Deck Bearing Angle
• Drag Strut Connections• Joist Bearing Connections
– Embedded Plate and Bearing Angle– Joist Pocket
• Girder Bearing Connections– Embedded Plate and Angle/Plate– Beam Pocket
![Page 28: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Ledger Connection
• Diaphragm Chord – Shear Forces• Deck Bearing – Gravity Forces• Lateral Restraint – Tension Forces• Continuous Angle• Different Thermal Coefficient of Expansion• Rigid Connection for Shear at Center of Panel• Sliding Connection for Gravity and Tension
Forces
![Page 29: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Typical Ledger Connection
![Page 30: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Typical Joist Connection
![Page 31: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Typical Girder Connection
![Page 32: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Other Connections
• Mezzanine Connections– Smaller Joist Spacing– Resist Temptation to use a Continuous Angle
Welded at each Joist
• Spandrels
![Page 33: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Expansion/Contraction
• Did I mention Expansion/Contraction is the most important thing to remember when designing connections?
• Expansion/Contraction is the most important thing to remember when designing connections.
• Let the panels “breathe”
![Page 34: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Design Panels
• Once connections have been planned you can design the panels for the constraints you have provided.– Eccentric Loads due to Bearing Connections– Unbraced Length for Panel Buckling– Base Fixity
![Page 35: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Reinforcing Schedules
• Once Panels have been designed, you will indicate the required reinforcing on the structural drawings.
![Page 36: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Reinforcing
• Design Note regarding Reinforcing:– ACI 318 Section 14.3.5 allows bar spacing up to 18
inches.
– Best practice is to use smaller bars not to exceed 15 inches o.c.
– When using a double mat of steel, you could stagger the mats to reduce the effective spacing if stretching to 18” but this requires additional chairs to support the upper and lower mat independently. Check with Contractor for cost impact.

Engineering Documents
• Need to Transmit, with completeness and clarity, the general and specific requirements for tilt up panels.
• Key Plan – Locate panels and indicate designation
• Elevations– Each panel uniquely numbered– Drawn from inside of building looking out– Panel Dimensions and connection detail references– Joint sizes
![Page 38: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Engineering Documents
• Connection Details– Anchor sizes required– Embed Plate sizes and stud spacing
• Reinforcement Details– Typical rebar placement– Clear coverages– Special Tie Configurations– Pilaster reinforcement if required
• Specifications• Shop Drawings – Panel Layout
![Page 39: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Detailing the Panels
• Biggest Source of Field Problems are results of inadequate checking and correlating between Architectural and Structural drawings.
• Design Engineer typically isn’t too concerned about getting all the architectural features coordinated.
![Page 40: TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56815205550346895dc048a2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
