EngineeringReinforced Concrete Tilt-Up Panels

Reinforced Concrete Tilt-Up Panels

SKU: RV-10662

Duration: 1.00 Hr

The term tilt-up panel is almost self-descriptive. This method of construction has been utilized through history, but only relatively recently have the advantages become economically viable. A combination of labor savings, speed of construction, and good finish quality, has made tilt-up panels more competitive. The following course will explain the tilt-up panel method of construction, itemize some of the current advantages of this construction method, and give an example of the design of a typical warehouse type building constructed of tilt-up walls.
