Tilt-Up Concrete Construction In tilt-up concrete construction concrete wall panels are cast on-site in a horizontal position. The casting platform is usually the concrete ground slab for the building under construction, although earth, plywood, and steel molds can also be used. Depending on the wall finish desired and the presence of any projections, such as corbels or pilasters, the wall panels may be cast with their outside face up or down. The wall panels must be designed to withstand the stresses of being lifted and moved which can exceed the in-place loads. Details: 5 1/2"" to 11 1/2" thick 1/2" min. joints grout packed extend horizontal wall reinforcement of precast tilt-up wall into cast-in-place column precast wall to precast column connect with weldplates wall - weldplate column - column angle drypack cavity with grout
