Description of Tilt-Up Concrete Wall Construction
Publication: Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction
Volume 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Tilt-up concrete wall construction is an alternative to cast-in-place, precast, or masonry methods of constructing building walls. The process involves more than just a cast and lift operation. Detailed planning, preparation, scheduling, and safety issues are constantly redefining the process. This paper describes the tilt-up process in step-by-step detail from the panel layout, to the setting of forms, to the concrete placement, and finally to the panel erection. A warehouse/office/shop tilt-up in Tempe, Ariz. is used as a case history of this construction method.
