Tilt up concrete wall panels Weiler, Gerald Joseph

Abstract

The design of tilt up concrete wall panels was studied in this paper. Design charts were developed to assist the engineer in the analysis of panels under load. Computer simulation of the concrete section was used to obtain the chart data. A computer study of the effect of a number of parameters on the load carrying capacity of wall panels was made. Loading, section properties and support conditions were varied in isolation in an attempt to obtain general trends of how each influences the strength characteristic of a concrete wall panel. A recommended design procedure has been included which utilizes the charts developed.
