A WALL PANEL is single piece of material, usually flat and cut into a
rectangular shape, that serves as the visible and exposed covering for a wall.
Wall panels are functional as well as decorative, providing insulation and
soundproofing, combined with uniformity of appearance, along with some
measure of durability or ease of replacement.

BENEFITS

WALL TYPE

A curtain wall system consisting of performed metal cut stone, precast concrete or
panelized brick wall units, which may be preglazed or glazed after installation. The
framing is attached to the building structure and does not carry the floor or roof
loads of the building. The wind and gravity loads of the curtain wall are transferred
to the building structure, typically at the floor line.

IT IS A TECHNIQUE OF
SITE CASTING
CONCRETE WALLS OR
ELEMENTS, TYPICALLY
DONE ON A
HORIZONTAL SURFACE
AND ONCE CURED, IT IS
TILTED VERTICALLY INTO
PLACE USING A MOBILE
CRANE. IT IS
TEMPORARILLY BRACED
INTO ITS FINAL
STANDING POSITION
AND IS TIED INTO THE
BUILDINGS ROOF AND
FLOORING SYSTEM.

H . A I K E N WAS
IN 1907, R O B E R T
DESIGNING AND BUILDING RETAINING WALLS AT THE
CAMP LOGAN RIFLE RANGE IN ILLINOIS, THUS, TILTUP CONSTRUCTION WAS BORN.
HOWEVER, DUE TO THE EXPENSE OF CONSTRUCTING
TILTING PLAFORMS, TILT-UP DID NOT CATCH ON AS A
PRACTICAL TECHNIQUE UNTIL 1946 WHEN THE
MODERN MOBILE CRANES WERE DEVELOPED
DURING WORLD WAR 2. AFTER THE WAR, IT BECAME
A POPULAR CONSTRUCTION TRECHNIQUE.

AT THE CONSTRUCTION SITE, WORKERS BUILD A

FRAME FOR THE WALL. THIS IS USUALLY BUILT
ON THE FLOOR OF THE BUILDING BEING BUILT.
DOORS, WINDOWS AND OTHER OPENINGS ARE
FRAMED IN.

01/10/2016

REINFORCING STEEL IS PLACED

INSIDE FINISHED FRAME.
CONCRETE IS PUMPED INTO
THE WALL FRAME. FINISHES
CAN BE APPLIED AT THIS STAGE
SUCH AS TEXTURE OR COLOR.

RIGGING IS ATTACHED. A CRANE IS USED TO LIFT

THE WALL CAREFULLY. WORKERS USE LARGE
BRACES TO STEADY THE WALL AS IT IS RAISED.
The panels are cast as close to
their final upright position as
possible to make the actual
lifting operation as quick and
efficient as possible.

WAITING PERIOD IS A WEEK TO 10 DAYS WHILE

THE CONCRETE ATTAINS SUFFICIENT STRENGTH
FOR LIFTING. THE FRAME IS REMOVED. WORKERS
READY THE WALL FOR LIFTING. THESE TYPES OF
WALLS CAN WEIGH UP TO 100,000 POUNDS.

01/10/2016

After the panels are poured and lifted into

place, each panel must be temporarily
braced to safely hold it in a vertical
position.

ONCE PLACED IN ITS

VERTICAL POSITION,
THE WALL SECTION IS
BRACED. WORKERS
ATTACH THE WALL TO
THE ROOF SUPPPORTS
AND TO THE
FOUNDATION.

Fast, simple, and economical technique of construction.

It eliminates the need for expensive transportation of materials.
No expensive vertical formwork is required to finish the job.
Low maintenance, it is not affected by moisture and weathering.
Flexible, it can be easily removed and relocated if future expansion
became necessary.
The fire safety rating of a concrete building will provide a fire
endurance of two hours or more.

01/10/2016

FOUNDATION

Panels are engineered before work begins making changes difficult.

Complicated reinforcing patterns and layout of openings.
Lifting panels requires specialized equipment and third party
engineering to calculate the lifting loads.

Panels are typically

connected to the building's
footing and floor slab by
welding preinstalled metal
inserts together, by using
grout and dowels to hold
the wall panels in place, or
by using a cast-in-place
concrete connection.

TILT-UP CONNECTIONS

Cast-in-place

Embedded inserts

Welded embedded metal

Drilled-in inserts

PANEL TO PANEL

Tilt-up panels can be either welded or

cast into the buildings footer, and both
the type of connection and the timing
of connecting the panels to the footer
must be considered.

The designer must design the building with the intention of having it
constructed using tilt up method.
Since tilt-up panels typically experience stresses from three to four
times higher during lifting than they do once they are placed into
position, it is extremely important for the designer to consider the
critical lifting loads during the design process.

Tilt up wall panel system can be used for any type of low- to mid-rise
building. It is most commonly used in warehouses, which has a
rectangular shape and large floor area.
