TILT-UP

CONSTRUCTIONS
 A kind of
constructions where
concrete elements like
walls, columns,
structural supports,
etc. are formed
horizontally on
a concrete slab.
The PROCESS
1st step - Preparing the
tilt-up panel form
• Workers must first create
the forms that define the
shape of the concrete
panels and place the
rebar in the forms.
• Create the Concrete
Slab

• Line Out the Tilt-up

Concrete Panel Forms
• Place Brackets to Define
Openings and Edges

• Precision is Crucial When

• Rebar Placed in Panel

• Embeds and Inserts

• Pour the Concrete Into
the Form

• Smooth the Tilt-up

Concrete Panels

• Remove the Forms From

the Panels
• The Concrete Panels Are
Ready
 Panel-to-panel
connections can be made
with chord bar
connections, tube
sections, or even a
ledger angle.

Connections which allow horizontal

movement (such as chord bar connections)
can be made soon after the panels are
erected.
 Current building codes
require that Tilt-Up
panels must be attached
to the footing or the
floor slab.

The connection of the
roof or floor diaphragm
is absolutely essential to
the performance of a
Tilt-Up building. This
connection is typically
made by means of a
ledger angle that is
secured to the wall
panel.
