Tilt Up Panel
Tilt Up Panel
(OP)
Hi fellows
I am just designing some tilt up panels, around 7m high. Just want to ask is there any limitation from the panel size? what does the design dimension depend on? The one I know is depending on the crane capacity. Also, is there any information about the lifting position? I am going to use the edge lifting method, two anchores will be use, any infomation about the spacing to the edge, anchor's maximum spacing, etc.
Thank you for you help.

To get your sizes, the thickness is determined by the vertical span as stated above. The height is the height and the width is determined by limiting the weight.

There is a guide to tilt up lift construction that is small and not that expensive. I thought it was by Hugh Brooks but I am having trouble finding in online. I used to use this reference for lift points. You will still need to calculate the cracking moment and I would make sure you don't exceed this anywhere in the panel. I would not won't to bust the panel during lifting and have somebody calling me about it from the field.
I will try to look some more for you for this book, I don't have it. But it is important to not exceed the cracking moment.

AggieYank, how do you guys and the other engineers cooridinate your reinforcing drawings? Does that method work out O.K.?
