BT NOTES, MARCH 6 2020

TILE UP WALL PANEL SYSTEM

-COST EFFECTIVE FOR LOW BUILDINGS

-RESEMBLES BARN RAISING AND WOOD PLATFORM FRAMING
-YOU CAN ONLY USE THIS FOR HOUSING
-DIFFERS FROM PREFAB IN THAT MOULDS ARE USUALLY DESIGNED FOR A SPECIFIC USE AND
CANT NO LONGER BE REUSED
-LOAD BEARING WALLS- NO COLUMNS
-DEPENDS ON PROJECT CIRCUMSTANCES

ADVANTAGE
-ECONOMICAL/ CHEAP
-SAFER- MOST WORK DONE BY CRANES
-AESTHETICS
-FAST CONSTRUCTION
- EASE OF INSTALLATION
- DESIGN VARETY
- SIZE
- ENVORONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

DISADVANTAGE
-NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED WELL; LACK OFF FLEXIBILITY
-UPFRONT CONSIDERATION
-SITE CAPACITY/ AREA IS LIMITING
-FINDING A KNOWLEDGEABLE TEAM
-DARK SPLOTCHES ON PANELS AND CRACKING
- LACK OF VERSATILITY

POST CONSTRUCTION BENEFITS

DURABILITY
REDUCED OPERATING COST
SECURITY
EASE OF MAINTENANCE
FIRE SAFETY

STAGES
1) DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
A. MAXIMIZE USE OF PANEL FEATURES
B. ORGANIZE THE SITE ACCESS
C. SIZE OF LOT MUST BE BIG ENOUGH
D. BUDGET MUST BE ENOUGH
E. APPROACH OF THE CASTING PROCEEDURE
 F. AVAILABILITY OF CRANE SIZES AS DIFF PANELS REQUIRE DIFF CRANES
2) STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
3) PANELISING BUILDING
4) FINISHING
5) PRE-CONSTRUCTION
6) CONSTRUCTION

PROCESS
1) CASTING SURFACE / FLOOR SLAB IS CURED
-CASTING BED FOR THE PANELS
2) FORMING OF WALL PANELS
- FORMS DONE ON THE FLAT SLAB
3) CHEMICALLY BOND BREAKER IS SPRAYED ON FORM SURFACES
-CAST CONCRETE MUSNT BOND WITH THW FROMS ANDMOULDS
4) REBAR GRID IS CONSTRUCTED ON THE FORM
- BRACING HARDWARE FOR LIFTING
5) CONCRETE POURING
- SANDWHICH INSULATION
- 5-10 DAYS WAITING PERIOD BEFORE LIFTED BY CRANES
6) IS THEN LIFTEN INTO POSTION BY ATTACHING HOOKS OF CRANES ON THE BRACES
7) ROOF AND FINISHES IS ATTACHED
8) GROUTING THE SPACE BETWEEN PANELS FOR JOINING THEM
9) BACKFILLED WITH SAND, COMPACTED SOIL AND/OR AGGREGATES
10) CAULKING
- MAKES SURE ITS WATER PROOF

DIFF TYPES OF CRACKS

- HAPPENS DUE TO SHRINKAGE
1) WAFFLE
2) HORIZONTAL
3) VERTICAL
4) DIAGONAL- USUALLY APPEARS AT CORNERS

FINSIHING
1) PAINTING
2) REVEAL PATTERS
3) FORM LINERS
4) EMBEDDED STONE AND BRICKS

ROBERT AIKEN
-1900S
-DEVELOPMENT OF CRANES BOOSTED THE SYSTEM AND MADE IT MORE
EFFICIENT
-IN THE US 15% INDUSTRIAL BLDNGS ARE MADE OF TILT UP
