autocad drawings of precast concrete cladding panels for - NEES

Figure 8: Detail drawing of different connections placed on the spandrel panelsThe beam designs varied depending on the floor they were located on. Most beams hadthe top aligned and flush with the slab, but a new beam was being tested which was apartial upturn beam that was to be located on the second floor. In-depth drawings wereneeded to show how the two would differ because embedment plates were also placedon the beams to carry the cladding panels. Figure 9 shows the two different cases in thesection view. Since the beam is partial upturn, placement of the plates will be different.Drawings for the installation of the embedment plates for the upturn beam are still to bedetermined.8 | P a g e
