Tilt Up Spandrel Panel Support Column
Tilt Up Spandrel Panel Support Column
(OP)
I have a condition where two panel ends will need to be supported by an hss column at their intersection. The HSS is set inside the corner columns and has been designed as pin-pinned to support the columns. The panels will attach with welded single angle clip angles to embed plates
The top of column horizontal reaction is 1200 lbs.
Is it typical to restrain this condition with an angle in two directions, which is tied to the diaphragm? Or is it more common to tie framing in two directions at this location? The connection of the panels will restrain the connection, but i was concerned about constructibility.
Thoughts?

Maybe I am missing something.

Im pretty certain this is typical of tilt-up construction.

They would need to install the left L shaped panel first.
I would also put a note to say that the column needs to be installed prior to the panels. I had a similar situation where the builder tried to fastrack by missing a supporting column and a guy nearly got hit by an 8 ton panel.

I think it would be better to terminate the column at the underside of the panels, possibly with an 'L' shaped cap plate.
The panels would be braced by each other by connecting them top and bottom to prevent rotation.
