Design of Partially Composite Insulated Walls

October 6, 2022 from 11:30am to 12:30pm Mountain Standard Time

Colorado Convention Center - Mile High 4EF

Marc Maguire, Ph.D.

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 have been validated by the recent TCA testing program will be demonstrated in realistic scenarios. Design limitations will be discussed and potential solutions.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Become familiar with partially composite insulated wall panels
• Understand elastic out-of-plane analysis methods for insulated wall panels.
• Understand how second order analysis is performed on concrete insulated panels by extending the elastic analysis methods to the inelastic range.
• Understand limitations of the design of concrete insulated wall panels.
