Structural Engineering Challenges While Designing Tilt-Up Structures
October 6, 2022 from 9:30am to 10:30am Mountain Standard 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 about the standard design sequence and the critical steps necessary to achieve a successful tilt up building.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Structural considerations for application
- Slender Wall Analysis
- Load combinations for strength design
- How to determine the total vertical load

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.
