New Technology Protects Walls and Allows Safe Carbon Uptake
October 5, 2022 from 7:00am to 8:00am Mountain Time
Colorado Convention Center - Mile High 4B
Introducing the PAVIX & YUFIX technology that protects tilt structures from water, freeze/thaw, chloride intrusion, and all other environmental contamination. This technology is continuously active, using moisture to its advantage rather than fighting it. Because of the continuous activity, y...
Achieving Net Zero Energy with Tilt Wall
October 5, 2022 from 11:00am to 12:00pm Mountain Time
Colorado Convention Center - Mile High 1
We’ve moved on from a time when small consumer decisions like using compostable straws could be considered an adequate response to address climate concerns. The stakes are high and the market is responding. In the wake of the pandemic, there is now unprecedented pressure on businesses acros...
Structural Engineering Challenges While Designing Tilt-Up Structures
October 6, 2022 from 9:30am to 10:30am Mountain Time
Colorado Convention Center - Mile High 4EF
Michael D. Thompson, P.E., S.E.
This seminar will speak to of the challenges of structural design in tilt ups. Joining me in this presentation will include John Lawson, S.E. Together we will share project examples with specific projects to discuss special considerations during the design process. In detail, we will talk abou...
Creepy Things in Panel Design
October 6, 2022 from 10:30am to 11:30am Mountain Time
Colorado Convention Center - Mile High 4EF
Needham DBS was called to investigate cracks on a building after years of issues. The building had a history of failed panel to slab connections and significant bowing in the panels. At the onset of the investigation, the mindset was that either the interior slab was moving, or the exterior pavin...
Design of Partially Composite Insulated Walls
October 6, 2022 from 11:30am to 12:30pm Mountain Time
Colorado Convention Center - Mile High 4EF
This seminar will help an unfamiliar engineer understand the process of designing tilt-up partially composite insulated wall panels. Partially composite panels can be more flexible than their solid counterparts making a prediction of second-order effects even more important. Design methods that ...
A Parametric Study of the New Diaphragm Design Force Methods
October 6, 2022 from 1:30pm to 2:30pm Mountain Time
Colorado Convention Center - Mile High 4EF
Since its introduction into U.S. building codes and standards, a single generally-accepted method has existed for determining seismic design forces on roof diaphragms. Recently, an alternate procedure was introduced in ASCE 7-16, and then an additional alternate procedure was introduced in ASCE 7...
Tilt-Up Panel Base-of-Wall Connection Primer
October 6, 2022 from 2:30pm to 3:30pm Mountain Time
Colorado Convention Center - Mile High 4EF
Reinforced concrete tilt-up panels resist lateral forces, such as seismic and wind, via out-of-plane and in-plane stiffnesses of the panel. A critical junction of the lateral force load path is at the base-of-wall connection (BOWC) to the foundation elements.
To maintain stability of ...
Better Materials, Better Designs, Better Ways to Build with Concrete
October 6, 2022 from 3:30pm to 4:30pm Mountain Time
Colorado Convention Center - Mile High 4EF
Design and construction professionals face significant challenges driven by increasing customer demands, rapidly changing material costs, strained supply chains, and the loss of workers going into trades. However, a more urgent issue is that climate change is a real and growing concern. Given t...
The 60,000-ft2 Wilkinson Avenue multi-tenant warehouse building located in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, is part of the Canada Green Building Council’s Zero Carbon Buildings Pilot Project. The building combines energy efficiency and renewable energy generation to achieve net-zero energy. Otherwise said, on an annual basis, the building generates as much energy as it consumes. Because of this, the project will diligently chip away at its total carbon accounting over time, continuously reducing its overall carbon footprint. The cost of this noble achievement was far less than most think, which is good because the proposition of doing more than the minimum to combat climate change is being considered more broadly and deeply than ever before.

About the Tilt-Up Concrete Association
Founded in 1986, the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) strives to improve the quality and acceptance of site-cast Tilt-Up construction - one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, combining the advantages of reasonable cost with low maintenance, durability, speed of construction and minimal capital investment. Over 10,000 buildings, enclosing more than 650 million square feet, are constructed each year using this construction method.
