Tilt-Up Applications in the Brazilian Market
Duration: 42 minutes
Speaker: Vitor Faustino Pereira
New to the Tilt-Up Convention and Expo in 2019, the International Keynote allows for concentrated attention on the efforts of TCA members to cultivate tilt-up markets outside of the United States. Each year features a talk focused on the intricacies, challenges and opportunities for tilt-up in a particular international market. The 2019 keynote was presented by Vitor Faustino Pereira, Director of Estrutural Projectos e Consultoria de Estruturas in Londrina, Paran‡ Brazil. Vitor's presentation includes an overview of the history of tilt-up in Brazil and its application on various building typologies through a series of case studies. Differences between structural systems, technology and construction techniques in Brazil compared to the US are also be featured. Viewers will gain awareness of the capabilities of Brazilian tilt-up design and construction professionals, the economic and social drivers of the Brazilian tilt-up market and appreciation for the opportunities that exist for tilt-up in Brazil.
