Tilt Up Wall Stress Checks?
(OP)
Hey folks,
I rarely get involved in means-and-methods in my job, but I am part of a group that has to review some specifics related to precast concrete panels. The panels will be cast flat and then raised from the forms by attaching anchors to one edge and lifting from the forms causing bending along the short axis of the panel. However, the panels are comparatively thin at 6.5 inches and 4 inches. What is the flexural stress limit for lifting panels? We need to make sure the minimum concrete strength has been obtained before the contractor is permitted to strip the forms. According to my ancient code book, the value appears to be 0.21 x 7.5 x sqrt (f 'c).
