They are not connected to steel frame for in plane movement to avoid transfer of lateral shear between the two. Panels are fastened to continuous footer with connectors that resist both overturning and shear forces.
GC has reported movement for insulated walls in BOTH directions i.e. in-plane and out-of-plane movement. While out-of-plane movement(bowing) can & does occur in insulated precast walls, the in-plane movement is baffling. The panels are connected to steel braced frame for lateral support, but the...
Thanks and you’re correct that this translates into 134 strands, 0.6” in diameter.
FS is stated to be 1.5; abutment is about 30ft wide (plan dimension); and eccentric is fairly large—-36 inches.
Hi
