Clear Cover Tilt Panels
Clear Cover Tilt Panels
(OP)
I am reviewing some shop drawings for tilt up panels. Are the cover requirements different than ACI 318. For example, #6 rebar is shown with a cover of 1" rather than 2" per ACI 318.
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

"Structural elements precast at the job site will also qualify under this section if the control of form dimensions, placing of reinforcement, quality control of concrete, and curing procedure are equal to that normally expected in a plant"
So whether it's reasonable or not depends on the quality control procedures and tolerances used on-site.

Main Reinforcing:
Outside face of panel: 1"
Inside face of panel: 3/4"
Edge of panel: 2"
Ties & stirrups:
Inside or outside face: 3/4"
Edge of panel: 1 1/2"
It goes on to say "Some contractors have reported that concrete covers of less than 1 in. on the inside face (normally the top face of the cast panel) make it difficult to finish the panel surface. In addition, bars with shallow cover on the outside face tend to mirror through the concrete surface. Concrete cover may have to be adjusted for fire rating requirements, or where reveals, recesses, architectural form liners, or sand blasting are used on the outside face of the panel."
