Solana Ballroom E [Stage A]
This seminar at the 25th Tilt-Up Convention and Expo will explore the innovative design and construction of Scottsdale's Museum of the West, a landmark project recognized for its sustainable architecture and cultural significance. The presentation will focus on the use of tilt-up concrete and int...
Tilting Up Not Out (A Multi-Level Industrial Perspective)
October 10, 2024 from 10:00am to 11:00am Mountain Time
Solana Ballroom E [Stage A]
As land prices are skyrocketing in urban areas and the need for light industrial space close to city centers is increasing, multi-level industrial development is emerging as a prevalent new building typology. The economies of going up rather than spreading out are starting to make sense and the s...
Embodied Carbon 101 & Low-Carbon Concrete in Tilt-Wall Construction
October 10, 2024 from 11:00am to 12:00pm Mountain Time
Solana Ballroom E [Stage A]
Erika Winters-Downey, S.E., LEED AP BD+C
This presentation will start with an introductory segment on Embodied Carbon 101, providing a foundational understanding of the environmental impact of construction materials. The session will then delve into the practical application of low-carbon concrete mix designs in the context of schedule-...
Strength & Innovation: Elevating Tilt-Up Construction Through Mix-Independent Concrete Technology
October 11, 2024 from 9:30am to 10:30am Mountain Time
Solana Ballroom FG [Stage B]
Tilt-up construction sites move fast and balancing objectives for strength, durability, and quality control, all while accelerating project timelines can be tricky to engineer. This seminar explores the synergy between advanced concrete technologies and tilt-up construction methods. It delves int...
ACI Slender Wall Design Provisions – Behind the Scenes
October 11, 2024 from 10:30am to 11:30am Mountain Time
Solana Ballroom FG [Stage B]
The design provisions in ACI 318 Section 11.8 are used for a large majority of tilt-up wall designs. However, they are presented as an “alternate” design method and can often be somewhat of an enigma to new or even experienced designers. Based on the ACI 551.2R design guide updates cu...
Engineering Energy Efficiency: Unlocking the Full Potential of Insulated Wall Panel Construction
October 11, 2024 from 11:30am to 12:30pm Mountain Time
Solana Ballroom FG [Stage B]
Insulated wall panels offer substantial benefits in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, but their thermal performance is heavily influenced by how the panels are constructed. By understanding the effects of how the panels are constructed regarding heat transfer, complying with building...
Seismic Performance of Partially Composite Insulated Tilt-Up Wall Panels
October 11, 2024 from 1:30pm to 2:00pm Mountain Time
Partially composite Insulated wall panels offer an intriguing option for design of lightweight walls in seismic prone regions. Tilt-up walls in seismic areas are often controlled by out-of-plane load which can far exceed that of wind due to the large mass of tilt up walls. Using a partially compo...
(BFRP) Make Tilt Rock
October 11, 2024 from 2:30pm to 3:30pm Mountain Time
Solana Ballroom FG [Stage B]
Discover the revolutionary potential of basalt volcanic rock fiber materials in construction. Basalt rebars, meshes, and microfibers are now available and affordable, offering remarkable advantages: they are 70% lighter, 2-3 times stronger, non-corrosive, and far more durable than steel. With ove...
