Tilt Walls with Lite Form
Tilt Walls with Lite Form
(OP)
Does anyone have any experience with designing tilt walls using the lite form system?
This is an insulated system where the structure basically consists of a 3" or 4" slab with ribs at about 4' c/c. The ribs may extend 6"-10" from the slab. The problem that I am having is that with lateral loads in one direction it will function like a tee beam and in the other direction, after the slab cracks, the ribs will function more like a column. It doesn't seem to comply with tilt wall design and is too slender for concrete column design.
Thanks for any input.
