Tilt-Up PAnel Pour Strip Elimination
Tilt-Up PAnel Pour Strip Elimination
(OP)
WE have a project with very sensitive slab, which we can't have saw-cuts, etc. We are trying to eliminate any joints in the area. Without placing the slab after tilt-up erection has anyone else achieved construction of tilt-up without using the pour strip. Thanks in advance for any suggestions, or information.






RE: Tilt-Up PAnel Pour Strip Elimination
I previously worked for a tilt-up contractor as a design engineer on a co-op placement. It was typical that we would cast a foundation wall on-top of the strip footing to U/S of slab. Once this foundation wall was in place we would cast the slab up to the interior edge of wall. Thus the "Pour-Strip" was only a 1" grout filled area.
Hope this helps.
