RE: tiltup walls

You will need to get a copy of "The Tilt-Up Design and Construction Manual" by Hugh Brooks. This can be ordered from TCA, (319)895-8830 www.tilt-up.org  ;

RE: tiltup walls

Tilt up construction is a fairly fast way of delivering a site cast concrete wall that can be load bearing.  As far as the design of a tilt panel goes, get a copy of the 1997 UBC or 2000 IBC and look-up slender wall design.  This is the prefered way to design.  
Tilt up has a limit, about 45 foot tall panels, and it is also limited by the crane/site capacity for pouring.  It works really well for warehouses and low rise office buildings (3-4 stories).  Watch the opennings and jamb dimensions in design and use pilasters when you have too high of an axial load for slenderwall to work.
(and no I'm not a tilt-up assoc member or anything - or even a salesman, but I have done about 30 of these buildings)
