Tilt-up panels for progressive collapse resistance
Tilt-up panels for progressive collapse resistance
(OP)
Anyone here involved in a multi-story tilt project designed to resist progressive collapse? I am not sure if it is practical to make the walls do all the job (bearing, lateral, bending, progressive collapse) for me. Please share your experiences or ideas. Thanks in advance.

The floor system is concrete over metal deck spanning between steel beams.

When you actually have to prove that it works with calculations, like with the UFC Alternate path, CIP concrete or steel moment frames seem to be the only practical way to go. It may be possible, but any savings that he thinks he will get will probably go away with all the special detailing you would need to get it to work.

As long as you have an alternative load path then panels can easily be made to act as a beam. 2 panels can span as a beam across the gap from the 2 below if they are held in plane and have a top and bottom connection between them that can take the push/pull of the moment.
Depends on your layout exactly how you would achieve it.
Alternatively you could look at a hybrid system.
