Ties between Wythes of Sandwhich Panels

[GalileoG]

How would one go about designing the ties that connect the two wythes of a sandwich panel together? Right now I am thinking of treating them as normal stirrups/ties of a concrete beam and size them up accordingly, unless there is another way out there.

Thanks

Try these Dayton Superior sandwich panel connectors. "M" types are commonly used.
