Tampa Convention Center [Lower Level - Room 120-121]
This presentation will introduce participants to typical structural engineering designs and construction methods for tilt-up wall panels. The speaker will provide a brief history of tilt-up construction, explaining how panels were analyzed in the past and how codes have evolved to their current form. The presentation may touch briefly on the advantages of tilt-up construction, highlighting the main differences in structural engineering and construction practices. Participants will learn about each stage of panel construction, from casting the slab to completing the structure, and will become familiar with the structural terminology used during the process. The presentation's main focus will be designing a tilt-up panel for various structural forces (in-plane, out-of-plane, vertical, overturning, lifting, bracing, etc.), including typical design checks that should be carried out for most tilt panels. The speakers will also share their best practices for new designers. The target audience for this presentation includes structural engineers who are new or have minimal tilt-up engineering experience, as well as those currently practicing tilt-up design and looking to confirm their approach to typical designs. The presentation will also benefit non-engineers who want to understand what engineers do and what they look for.
ICONX LLC produces and distributes the IconX Shear Connector line. With a new 5"- 6" connector being introduced to the family this year, we are now able to support you on projects with insulation thickness from 2" all the way up to 6" and everything in between, making IconX the smart choice for your high performance insulated wall panels. The foundational goal of the IconX System was to develop a shear connector to make insulated wall panels longer, stronger, and stiffer than previously available. It was also important for the connector to work with any rigid insulation in panels reinforced with mesh or rebar. Due to the composite action that the IconX Shear Connector facilitates between the wythes of concrete, the total concrete thickness can be reduced by 3 to 4 inches over conventional non-composite panel design, saving you material costs and potentially reducing your crane size and footing and foundation sizes. Simply put, we can do more for less. We are committed to helping you have a successful project with us. Contact us by phone or email, or come meet us at the TCA show to discuss what we have to offer.
