Design of tiltup bracing deadman pads

[apsix]

Does anyone have advice on the design of deadman concrete pads for the restraint of temporary bracing of precast wall panels? As I see it the worst case for bracing on one side only is combined lateral and uplift forces on the pad.

Wind load (not the same as lateral analysis wind load) creates an uplift and shear force (sliding) at the deadmen.

Here's a great resource for bracing & deadmen,

Hope this helps. I've used these a lot in the past.

Thanks for that.
The information referenced indicates that provided the concrete weight of the deadman is greater than the brace tension force, the deadman is adequate. Is this a common approach?

Yes, it is a very common practice. Glad the information was helpful...
