Girder Beam at Tilt panel
Girder Beam at Tilt panel
(OP)
Do we always need to provide pilasters at girder beams?
I have 7.25" panel - 20'- long - 15' tall with a girder load of 100 k ultimate attaching to it. I spoke to my senior engineer and he told that they have not used pilasters at those loads (upto 150 k). I ran through the analysis myself and did not find the need for a pilaster. I want to make sure that I am not doing anything incorrect since the load seems to be quite high to me.

If architecture allows, you can also bolt an HSS to the wall every few feet vertically to brace it and use that to carry the girder reaction. May be faster and easier than forming a pilaster into a tilt panel.
