TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION - Brock White

2 02-09

General andTechnical InformationTilt-Up ConstructionTilt-up is a job-site form of precast concrete construction. Itinvolves prefabricating concrete wall sections (panels) flat oneither the building floor slab or on a temporary casting slab,then lifting or tilting them up and carrying them to their finalposition with a mobile crane. Once they are in position, thepanels are temporarily braced until they are tied into the roofand floor system and become an integral part of the completedstructure.It is a fast, simple, and economical method of construction,which has been used extensively for one-story buildings andhas most recently been adapted successfully to multi-storystructures. Today, walls of up to four stories in height are beingcast and tilted into position. Currently there have been severalinstances of wall panels as high as six stories being cast anderected as a unit by the tilt-up method of construction.The economy of tilt-up lies in its simplicity of construction.The critical factors in this method of construction are handledin the pre-construction planning stage. Skill in laying out panelerection sequences and designing safe lifting elements whichfully utilize crane time will provide for the fast and safe completionof the job.General and TechnicalInformationEarly History of Tilt-UpRobert Hunter Aiken erected the earliest know tilt-up building around 1893, at Camp Logan, IL located just north of thetown of Zion. As mobile cranes were not available during this time-period, Mr. Aiken used a specially designed tipping tableon which to cast and erect the wall panels.Mr. Aiken is recognized by many as being the father of what is now known as tilt-up construction. In addition, Mr. Aikendeveloped the first insulated tilt-up wall panels, which consisted of 2” of concrete, 2” of sand and 2” of concrete. As thepanels were tipped into position, workers washed the sand from between the concrete wythes, leaving an insulating centerair space.In an article published around 1910, Mr. Aiken reported that two men were able to erect a wall, in one hour, that was 76feet long by 27 feet tall and weighed 76 tons. In this same article, Mr Aiken stated he had used his tipping table method ofconstruction to erect fifteen structures in five different states. His method of construction was known as the “Aiken method ofhouse building.”Only two mid-western buildings constructed using Mr. Aiken’s “method of house building” are known to survive. They arethe Memorial United Methodist Church of Zion, IL and the Camp Perry Commissary Building 2009 located near Port Clinton,OH. The Zion church was erected in 1906 and the Commissary in 1908. Both buildings stand today as monument to the longevityof tilt-up construction.In 1911, Robert Aiken and his Aiken Reinforced Concrete Company, Inc. used his innovative construction method to erect111-foot x 644-foot Paint Shop building, containing 36 rail car bays, for the Los Angeles Railway Company. The building’s106-foot long, 100-ton wall sections were cast horizontally and then tipped into position. This building is undoubtedly thelargest of its era to employ tilt-up construction.Also in Los Angeles, Mr. Thomas Fellows, developed a variation of the Aiken system in 1910 and used it to construct a lowcostdemonstration house. Mr. Fellows cast the modular wall units horizontally on the ground and later lifted them into placeusing a mechanical crane.In 1912, a San Diego based architect, Mr. Irving Gill used theAiken tipping wall technology in the Banning House in Los Angelesand in the large La Jolla Women’s Club building of 1913. In1912, Mr. Gill purchased the patent rights of the bankrupt AikenReinforced Concrete Company and formed his own ConcreteBuilding and Investment Company. However, the Aiken method wasdetermined not to be very useful in concrete construction and Gilldid not employ it much after 1913.Although Mr. Aiken, Mr Fellows and Mr. Gill pioneered tilt-upconstruction, modern day tilt-up’s popularity is based on two WW IIera developments, the introduction of the ready-mix concrete batchplant and mobile cranes.02-093

General and TechnicalInformationGeneral andTechnical InformationDayton Superior’s Role in the Development of Tilt-UpSince the beginning of tilt-up construction, Dayton Superior has been instrumental in developing and manufacturing thehardware necessary to safely and economy in the most critical steps for this method of construction -- that of lifting the wallpanel and placing it in place without damage. The embedded coil insert pioneered by Dayton Superior was an importantdevelopment in tilt-up techniques. A major breakthrough resulted in the mid-sixties with the design of the Twist-Lift insert andlifting hardware. The Twist-Lift System was one of the simplest and most economical lifting systems on the market for manyyears. The Twist-Lift System was a quick connect-release system and was the forerunner of today’s ground release systemsFurther innovations have been made through research and development of the Ground Release Swift Lift System for tilt-upconstruction. This system offer tilt-up contractors the advantage of being able to release of the lifting hardware from theground with a simple pull on a release line. Worker safety was greatly improved as the Ground Release Swift Lift Systemeliminated the need for workers to climb a ladder to remove the lifting hardware from the panel.Dayton Superior has continued to strive to provide the contractor with a variety of options for lifting panels, developingthe Gyro Tilt Plus System, the Tilt-Up 3 Lifting System and recently introduced the Superior Lift Tilt-Up System. Our productdevelopment team continues to strive to provide a complete package for economical and safe construction of tilt-up buildings.Technical ServicesDayton Superior maintains two strategically located Technical Services Department, located in Ohio and California. DaytonSuperior Technical service is based on approximately 50 years experience involved in detailing several million panels of allshapes, sizes and degree of difficulty. Using computer aided design, the following services are provided to serve the needs ofthe Tilt-Up Construction Industry. Services include:• Consultation/recommendations• Panel erection details• Wind bracing requirements• Additional reinforcement, if necessary• Strongback requirements, if necessary• Rigging methods• Material takeoffsGeneral Tilt-Up ConsiderationsTilt-up construction involves the following considerations:• The tilt-up concrete panel is partially supported by the ground or slab during tilting.• The concrete panel is usually handled only once.• After tilting, the panel is only raised two to three feet and is generally not moved very far by the crane.At the time of initial lift, the face lift inserts and bolts/hardware are in tension or in a combination of tension and shear. As thepanel is rotated and raised, tension decreases and shear increases as the entire load is transferred to the inserts (when thepanel is in a vertical position).Tilt-up panels must be reinforced with no less than the minimum steel required by the latest edition of the AmericanConcrete Institute, Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete (ACI 318). As a general rule, #4 bars at 12” O.C. inboth directions will satisfy the requirement. If flexural stress limits will be exceeded during lifting, additional reinforcing steel, orstrongbacks must be added to the panel.DefinitionsRated Load — The maximum load that should be applied to an anchor, insert, coil bolt, brace or lifting hardwareunit. Safe Working Load, Safe Load Carrying Capacity or SWL are other terms used in thishandbook for the term Rated Load.Ultimate Load — The average load or force at which the item fails or no longer will support or carry a load.Dynamic Load — A resulting load from the rapid change of movement, such as the sudden stopping, jerking orimpacting a static load. A dynamic load may be several times a static load.Safety Factor — A term denoting theoretical reserve capability which has been determined by dividing the ultimateload of the product by its rated load. This is expressed as a ratio; for example, 2 to 1.4 02-09

General andTechnical InformationAnchor/Insert CapacityAnchors/Inserts are designed to resist loads appliedas direct tension, shear or a combination of the two.The following equations have been developed to predictconcrete capacity of anchors/inserts and are applicableto anchors/inserts that are properly embedded in unconfinedconcrete. Confinement of the concrete, either froman applied compressive force or reinforcement is knownto increase the load carrying capacity of concrete. At thistime, design equations for anchors/inserts, which includereinforcement confinement, have not been developed.General and TechnicalInformationThe Strength of the ConcreteWhen a load is applied to an insert embedded in concrete,it induces a corresponding resistive force in theconcrete. Insert failures can be predicted with a reasonabledegree of accuracy by using the following equation forconcrete breakout from ACI 318 Appendix D.f’ c= Compressive strength of the concrete at time of lift1.5P concrete= 0.75 x j c,Nx l x 24 x √⎺ f’ ch efP concrete= Maximum tension load carried by concrete and;l = Reduction factor for use with lightweightconcrete, see page 6;j c,N= Factor for cracked concrete: 1.0 if cracked and1.25 if uncracked.SurfaceAreaofTheoreticalShearCone35°d hP concreteConcreteSurfaceIllustration A2h ef7Combined Shear and Tension InteractionAnchors/inserts and bolts that are subjected to combinedshear and tension loading should satisfy the followingequation:5 5f v 3 f(t 3F v) + < 1.0( F t)Where:f v = applied shear loadF v = shear safe working loadf t = applied tension loadF t = tension safe working loadPcConcreteSurfaceSurface Areaof TheoreticalleShear Cone35 odh02-09

General andTechnical InformationThreePFourPGeneral and TechnicalInformationA ductile failure may occur in the insert. Coil type insertswill usually fail at a point just below the helically wound wirecoil. A small cone of concrete will usually be pulled out of theconcrete surface. This cone will have its apex at a point justbelow the coil. Its base diameter will be approximately twiceits cone height.“Headed” type inserts will exhibit a ductile failure throughthe shaft diameter of the insert.These failures usually occur in higher strength concreteor adequate embedments when the concrete resistance isgreater than the mechanical strength.Failures of this type are due to a definite overload beingapplied to the inserts. Such failures can be prevented bychoosing inserts of capacity suitable to job conditions or byincreasing the number of inserts used to lift the tilt-up panel.Coil Bolt/Coil Insert failurePWarning! When bolting coil type inserts, the bolt shouldalways extend at least the proper amount beyond thebottom of the insert coil. Failure to do this causes the entirebolt load to be transferred to fewer turns of the coil, causingan increased load per weld contact point. The coil will thenunwind much like a corkscrew, resulting in a prematurefailure.Insert SetbackMinimum CoilPenetrationSee page 29 for proper method of determining boltlengths.Insert PlacementTilt-up lifting inserts are generally categorized in two types,face lift and edge lift. Both types of inserts must be placedaccurately and positioned properly. Safe working load of theinsert may decrease considerably if the insert is notpositioned perpendicular to the bearing surface. All DaytonSuperior lifting inserts are designed for easy positioning andsecuring to the reinforcement steel.It is also important that all coil style lifting inserts beplaced so the depth of thread is constant throughout thejob, minimizing improper bolt engagement. Keep all liftinginserts free of dirt, ice and other debris that may interferewith hardware engagement.02-099

General and TechnicalInformationGeneral andTechnical InformationInsert Edge DistancesPEmbedment of inserts closer to any edge; constructionjoint; window or door opening than the minimum edgedistances shown in this handbook will greatly reduce theeffective area of the resisting concrete shear cone and thusreduce the insert’s tension safe working load. The shadedarea of the shear cone indicates the extent to which this areais reduced. Tension safe working loads of inserts near a freeedge or corner must therefore be reduced in proportion to thereduction in effective shear cone area.d e = Actual edge distanceD = Minimum edge distance required todevelop insert’s SWLDd eMinimum Insert DistancesLedgeProjec15"Minimum10 o Max (Ten Degrees Max)10ß Max.15" MinimumSeeIllustration6" Minimum6" Minim15" MinimumLedger orProjection15"MinimumT-41GroundReleaseInsert15"MinimumLedger orProjectionWarning!

The centerline of the spreaderbar and hook must be on the centerline of the panel and thecrane cables must be of proper size and length.Warning! Users of Dayton Superior products must evaluate theproduct application, determine the appropriate safety factor, calculatethe applied loads and control all field conditions to prevent excessiveproduct loading.When uncertain about proper installation or use of a Dayton Superiorproduct, contact Dayton Superior for clarification. Failure to do somay expose workers to hazards which could result in serious injuryor death.10 02-09

General andTechnical InformationBondbreaker and Curing CompoundsBondbreakers and curing compounds are among the mostcritical materials used on a tilt-up project. These productsshould have their performance criteria carefully evaluated.The application of the curing compound on the floor slab isthe most critical step in the preparation process. The applicationshould begin immediately after the hard steel trowelingand the dissipation of the excess bleed water. A curecoat applied too late may render the slab highly permeable,leading to bondbreaker absorption and poor parting characteristics.Typically, look for the following cure characteristics:1. A well cured casting slab.2. Excellent parting characteristics of the bondbreaker.3. Good drying characteristics of the bondbreaker.4. Clean appearance of the finished panel and floor slab.5. Good compatibility with subsequent floor treatments and/orfloor coverings.6. Good compatibility with wall finishes such as paint,elastomeric coatings, sealants, adhesives, etc.There are three basic types of bondbreakers:1. Membrane forming.2. Non-membrane forming — reactive.3. Combinations of membrane forming and reactive.Since the membrane forming materials rely on crudepetroleum resins and waxes to form a water insoluble barrierbetween the freshly cast wall panel and the casting slab, theyare prone to leave residue on both the panel and the slab.Under optimum conditions of temperature and sunlight, theywill usually dissipate in approximately 90 days. Varyingenvironmental and/or application conditions may result inresidue being present much longer. Residue may discolor theconcrete and interfere with subsequent surface treatments.Reactive materials work with the excess lime available tocreate crude soaps. These soaps provide a moisture barrierto prevent the migration of the cement matrix into the castingslab.A final note: whenever there is doubt about sufficientbondbreaker on the casting slab, always apply more.It is the cheapest insurance available for a successfultilt-up job. Refer to the Dayton Superior brochure “Use andApplication of Bondbreakers” for more information.General and TechnicalInformationShop DrawingsA complete set of detailed panel drawings is required forevery tilt-up project. If the drawings are not part of the plansprepared by the engineer of record, then the panel contractorshould prepare the set and submit them to the engineer forapproval. The detailed panel drawings should contain thefollowing information:1. Panel identification.2. All pertinent dimensions.3. All physical characteristics, including weight.4. All reinforcing steel.5. Location and identification of all embedded items.6. Finishes and textures.7. Rigging and bracing information.Panel Casting LayoutThe panel contractor should consult with the erectioncontractor in the development of a good casting layout.For a smooth construction sequence, two importantcriteria must be met:1. The panels must be located for efficient casting.2. The panels must be located for safe andefficient erection.The panel layout should provide accessibility to the panelforms for the ready mix trucks and crane.Tilt-up panels should be cast as near as possible to theirfinal location in the structure. An effort should be made toplace as many side by side as possible. If a panel must be“walked” to its final position, try to keep the distance asshort as possible. “Walking” the panels should be avoided,if possible.02-0913

General and TechnicalInformationGeneral andTechnical InformationPanel ConstructionAfter the floor slab has been cleaned, the tilt-up panels areoutlined directly on the floor slab with chalk. The chalk linescan be sprayed with a coat of bondbreaker to prevent rainfrom washing them away. The panel edge forms, and anyopening forms can then be set in place.Fog the casting area with clean, potable water prior toapplication of the bondbreaker. The fogging should saturatethe slab, but any standing water must be removed before thebondbreaker is applied. The bondbreaker should be appliedin a two-coat application; the first coat of the material sprayedin one direction and the second coat sprayed perpendicularto the first. Be sure to let the first coat dry before applying thesecond coat. Applying the bondbreaker in this manner willhelp ensure a smooth, uniform coating.Check the slab and bondbreaker before pouring anyconcrete. The slab should have a slightly tacky, soapyfeeling. Bondbreaker can be tested by dropping a smallamount of water on the casting bed, from a height of about24” above to allow it to splatter. If the bondbreaker is appliedcorrectly, the water will bead into small droplets as it wouldon a freshly waxed automobile. If the water does not bead,respray all of the suspected areas of the casting slab.When all of the panel preparations are complete and thepanel is ready for placement of the concrete, the entire panelarea should be fogged with potable water to be certain thatthe pores of the concrete slab have been properly saturated.Make sure there is no standing water, and proceed with theconcrete placement.The panel concrete must be properly consolidated using anappropriate concrete vibrator. It is preferable to use the vibratorin an up and down motion. Laying the vibratorhorizontal and dragging it along the reinforcing steel will oftenleave the pattern of the rebar visible on the down side face ofthe panel. Avoid over vibration; it may cause segregation ofthe aggregate and bring excess water to the surface.Preparation for LiftingClean the panel and the surrounding floor slab area.Locate and prepare all pertinent embedded devices that areaccessible. Do any dressing or patching that can be accomplishedon the ground. Attach all pipe braces and strongbacksas required.Each panel should be numbered and clearly identifiedaccording to the panel layout/erection sequence plan. Placethe identifying mark in a position that will not be exposedwhen the structure is completed. The structure footing shouldalso be marked with the corresponding identifying numbersto give the erection crew clear indication where each panelgoes. The footing should be appropriately marked to showthe proper position of each panel on the footing.All lifting inserts should be uncovered, cleaned out andtested with a hardware unit several days prior to erection day.Rotary hammers, drills, leveling shims, cutting torch, steelwedges, pry bars, level and plumb bob and a full set of handtools should be available at the job site.Panel Erection TechniquesThe following panel erection techniques are suggested asan aid for the safe and efficient erection of tilt-up wall panels.• Layout — Prior to the day of erection, the panels should belaid out on the exterior foundations and the exterior wall lineestablished.• Alignment — One method of alignment is to mark thelimits of each panel, then drill 3/4” holes into the foundationapproximately 5” deep. Install two #5 rebars (approximately10” long) on each side of each panel.• Leveling — Prior to day of erection, install leveling shimswith a level so that the top of all panels are in line. Groutshould be installed around the shims to hold them in position.• Grout — After panels are erected and aligned, grout asspecified should be placed under each panel. Groutingshould be accomplished as early as possible after panelerection. Care should be taken to make certain the grout fillsthe void between bottom of panel and top of footing.After the LiftWhen constructing the floor slab, a perimeter strip,generally three to five feet wide is often open to facilitate thefooting excavation. This excavated area can be up to five orsix feet deep, depending on the building design, and won’tbe backfilled until after the wall panels have been erected.The perimeter strip must be backfilled and compacted verycarefully to avoid movement or bending of the panels.Usually there are reinforcing steel bars projecting from theslab into the perimeter area which will overlap the bars thatproject from the panels. If the panel is a “dock-high” panel, itmay be best to weld the floor rebar to the panel rebar. Afterthe backfill is in place and properly compacted, concrete isplaced into the perimeter strip to connect the floor slab to thewall panels.Wall braces should never be removed until all structuralconnections are complete. Note that the perimeter stripbetween the floor slab and the wall panels is considered astructural connection.If the building’s structural drawings do not indicate whenthe braces can be removed, the engineer of record should beconsulted.14 02-09

Panel ErectionInformationPanel AnalysisAs the tilt-up panel is rotated from the horizontal to thevertical, the panel is subjected to bending that causes bothcompressive and tensile stresses that must be resisted bythe concrete, reinforcing steel, or a method of strongbackingthat prevents the initial bending.The lifting inserts are normally located so that the overhangingportions of the panel sides or top will reduce thebending moments between pickup points, thereby reducingthe compressive and tensile stresses in the concrete.Tilt-up panels are usually thin and very seldom do theycontain two layers of reinforcing steel. It is, therefore, necessaryto allow some tensile stress in the concrete to be introducedin the tension areas. The value of allowable tensilestress in the concrete is a function of the modulus of ruptureand the safety factor used. A conservative value appears tobe approximately6 √f’c.Since the typical reinforcing in a panel is #4 bars at 12in. o.c., both horizontally and vertically, it is important tobe sure of the compressive strength of the concrete at thetime of erection. In turn, the concrete must have sufficienttensile strength to provide the resisting strength necessaryto erect the panels without cracking. This concrete qualitycan be obtained by having a proper mix proportion and acuring process that minimizes moisture loss. Strength testsusing compression cylinders, Test Beam Break (modulus ofrupture), or a Split Cylinder Test are methods of determiningthe value of the concrete strength and/or tensile strength ofthe concrete at the time of erection.It is normal to have a minimum concrete compressivestrength of 2,500 psi before the tilting operation commences.Generally, the ultimate tensile stress would be 375 psi orgreater with an allowable stress of 300 psi. This assures agood tilting sequence with no cracking from tilting althoughsome shrinkage cracks may appear.Depending upon the quality of bond breaker used andthe care taken in application, the amount of “bond” betweenthe panel and the base slab can be from negligible to significant.Initially, a suction force must be overcome at the timeof release from the base slab and estimates of this forcevary considerably. Panel size, interface texture, and waterbetween the panel face and the base slab all contribute tothis additional load that is applied to the inserts and the surroundingconcrete. Estimates vary from negligible to 20 psfof panel area. Experience has shown that the safety factorbetween the design stress and the ultimate tensile stress issufficient to absorb the additional stresses without crackingthe panels.Minor impact loads that occur during the tilting sequencedo not create bending stresses in excess of the safety factor.However, if a panel suddenly drops and is caught by theslings, or hits the crane boom or some other obstruction, anincreased load will be applied to the pickup inserts.Panels are analyzed for stresses at 0 degrees and atvarious angles during the tilting sequence. They are analyzedat 0 degrees because of the added loads from suction,impact, bond, and because the spans are the longest.Panels with more than one horizontal row of pickup pointsare analyzed at angles of rotation due to the cable configurationchanging the loads to the pickup points and therefore,changing the bending moments. The resultant stresses arecompared to the allowable and if exceeded, additional reinforcingor strongbacks are added depending upon the contractor’spreference.After the tilt-up panels are analyzed vertically, they areexamined horizontally. The procedure for horizontal analysisis similar to the vertical examination, except that a portion ofthe panel resting on the ground is not considered because ofcontinuous support.Panel ErectionInformationErection DetailsThe engineering service (Erection Details) which is providedby Dayton Superior is a very important part of our totaltilt-up package. The location and selection of the properlifting insert, brace type and brace anchor location, as well asthe calculation of additional reinforcing steel or strongbacksize and location is critical for a safe and efficient panel erection.Dayton Superior uses computers to provide fast andaccurate analysis of the stresses involved in tilting a panelinto position. Erection detail booklets are furnished to thecontractor showing pickup locations, wall brace insert locations,crane riggings and cable lengths, reinforcing or strongbackdetails, and specific assumptions relating to concretestrength and wind loads used in the brace design. Thesedetails are furnished at a nominal charge and are as importantto the success of the operation as are the contract drawings.In order to provide these erection details to the tilt-upcontractor, Dayton Superior needs the following information:• Name of our dealer where you will purchaseaccessories.• Name and address of project.• Name of contractor.• Job phone number.• Name of job superintendent.02-09• Crane operator.• Project plans with panel drawings.• Number of buildings.• Approximate number of panels.• Number of detail booklets required.• Date erection details required.• Are copies of calculations required?• Is engineer’s stamp required?• Type of inserts preferred for tilting, bracingand strongbacking.• Rigging type preferred for tilting.• Are braces required? If so, what is the specifiedmaximum wind load (psf)? Are panels to be braced toinside or outside of the building?• Are panels cast inside face up or outside face up?• Type and unit weight of concrete.• Compressive strength of concrete at lift.• Type and details of surface treatment.• Special instructions not covered by the above items.15

Panel ErectionInformationPanel ErectionInformationRigging and the CraneGeneralThe most important phase during the construction of a tilt-upbuilding is the erection of the wall panels. It is extremelyimportant for the designers and contractors to plan and replanthis portion of the job. They should direct their efforts toensure that this important phase of construction is performedsafely and efficiently.Prior to ConstructionPrior to the actual start of construction, an inspection of thesite should be made by the contractor. The location of thejobsite may be such that special permits will be requiredto gain access to the site for heavy equipment such as thecrane. As an example, permits are a common requirementfor schools and church projects. These projects are usuallybuilt in residential areas where weight and size restrictionsmay exist.It is advisable for the contractor to investigate restrictions onearly daily start-up times. Many areas have noise abatementand dust control regulations. Also, the panel contractor anderection contractor should walk the site and determine a suitablelocation for the crane assembly and rigging make-up.Some local governments will not allow this activity on publicstreets.It is also advisable that any problems with uneven terrain benoted at this time and dealt with prior to bringing the craneonto the jobsite.The panel contractor and the erection contractor shouldalways agree on a location for both the crane entrance ontothe floor slab as well as the exit ramp off the floor slab. Ifnecessary, plans should be made to thicken the floor slabat these ramp locations so the crane weight will not damagethe edge of the slab.Since there must be a close, cooperative relationship betweenthe panel contractor and the erection subcontractor, itis advisable to select an erection sub-contractor during theearly days of the project. The erection sub-contractor andcrew should be well experienced in tilt-up, as panel tiltingand handling is a very specialized skill.sary to shut off the power in some overhead wires in orderto safely operate the crane during panel erection. Mostsafety regulations dictate that cranes will not be allowed towork closer than ten feet to power lines.The quality of the floor slab on a tilt-up project cannot beover emphasized due to the heavy weights that the slab willbe expected to support early in its life. Equally as importantas the slab, is the sub-base under the floor slab. When itcomes to supporting the combined weight of the crane andtilted panel, the floor slab is no better than its sub-base.Even a thick, properly engineered floor slab with two curtainsof reinforcing steel will not support the weight of the crane ifthe sub-base is unstable.To insure an efficient construction procedure, careful considerationmust be given to the casting location of the panels.The following two important criteria must be met if the contractorexpects to have a successful project:• Panels must be located for efficient CASTING.• Panels must be located for efficient LIFTING.The panel contractor should work with the erection subcontractorin developing the panel casting layout. The erector’sadvice should be sought so that the panels are cast in sucha position that a properly sized crane can safely reach anderect them.Underground tunnels, trenches and sewer lines are a verycommon occurrence and can create problems. It is necessaryto know the location of these underground hazardsand to avoid those that may need strengthening in order tosupport the crane’s weight. We have often found that thelocation of these underground hazards is not always notedon the architect/engineer’s plans. Further investigation bythe panel contractor should be made in an effort to discoverthese types of unknown hazards.Overhead electric or telephone wires can be a commonproblem on both urban and rural job sites. It may be neces-Crane CertificationThe crane that is finally selected for the project should beproperly certified. Many, if not all states have standardswith which erection sub-contractors must comply. Prudentcontractors make certain they have available at the jobsitePrior to ErectionSite InspectionAfter the panels are cast and curing, the panel contractor,erection sub-contractor, and the accessory supplier shouldagain walk the site. The terrain upon which the crane willtravel should be inspected and any further corrections noted.Crane selection should not be looked on as merely routine.General rules for sizing the crane state that the cranecapacity should be a minimum of two to three times that ofthe heaviest panel including the weight of the rigging gear.However, in the final analysis not only the panel weight, butalso the crane’s position relative to the panel must be considered:The following questions must be answered before finaldetermination of crane size can be established:• How far must the crane reach to lift the panel?• How far will the crane have to travel with the panel?• How far will the crane have to reach to set the panel?documentation attesting to the crane’s certification. The contractorshould also obtain a certificate of liability insurancefrom the erection sub-contractor.Corrective actions shall be taken prior to erection of thepanels.Entrance and exit ramps should be checked. The entranceramp should be built up so the crane descends slightly down20 02-09

Panel ErectionInformationonto the slab instead of crawling up onto it. The exit rampshould be built in the same manner. On some buildings,architectural openings are large enough for the crane to exit.In any case, do not let the crane’s weight bear at the extremeedge of the slab. This is of particular importance if the craneis walking out with the added weight of the closure panel.Equipment and CrewThe panel contractor and the erection contractor mustitemize the rigging and equipment that will be needed for aproper and safe lift. The instruction manual that is suppliedby Dayton Superior will specify all the types of rigging configurationand cable lengths for the project. These detailsshould be rigidly adhered to, since they are an integral partof the erection stress calculations.DAYTON SUPERIOR DOES NOT SPECIFY THEDIAMETER OR SAFE WORKING LOAD OF THE CABLEas this is the responsibility of the erection contractor. Thepanel contractor should also make a list of required tools.The list should include, but not be limited to, a compressor,drills, wrenches, a bolt-on lift plate along with extra T-13 postdrilled anchors, ladders and miscellaneous hand tools. Aminimum of two extra lifting hardware units should be on thejob.It is also prudent to anticipate material needs for last minuterepairs. If a delay is caused for any reason, down time canadd up rapidly.The panel contractor should provide a clean working areawith all obstacles removed. Members of the erection crew willbe guiding a panel while it is being moved from the castinglocation to its position in the structure. Most of the time thesecrew members will be looking up at the rigging and inserts.They should not be tripping over loose debris and tools.The erection contractor’s minimum crew should consist ofthe crane operator, oiler (driver), rigger foreman, and twojourneyman riggers. This crew should be augmented, asrequired, by carpenters and laborers from the panel contractor’swork force, primarily to handle braces. In areas ofthe country where no erection contractors are available,the minimum crew should consist of crane operator, oiler,foreman and four to five laborers. An exception to this wouldbe with stacked panels which require an additional two tothree laborers. Consideration should also be given to havinga welder standing by. A properly staffed and well coordinatederection crew is the key to successful lifting.The crane operator must be a skilled journeyman, experiencedin handling tilt-up panels. He must be able to controlthree motions of his crane: hoist, swing and boom hoist. Itis quite normal to use all three of these functions simultaneously.Panel ErectionInformationPanel PreparationAll standing water should be blown away from around theperimeter of the panel. Also, remove all water that might bepooled in panel openings. Standing water prevents air fromentering under the panel and creates an additional loadthat must be overcome. These suction loads can be of suchstrength, that the additional load causes the lifting inserts tobe overloaded.Panel preparations should also include checking the insertsfor proper location, as shown in the erection instructions.It also includes removing the void former from the insert.All inserts should be checked with a lift hardware to makecertain that the hardware can be properly attached to thelifting insert. Strongbacks should also be properly installed atthis time.Day of Erection - Safety MeetingA safety meeting with full crew should be held beforeany lifting starts and the accessory supplier should also bepresent for this meeting. Personnel should be told to neverplace themselves under the panel while it is being tilted or onthe blind side of the panel when the crane is traveling with it.The crew should be told to never get between the crane andthe panel. A conscientious erection contractor will alwaysadvise his crew that horseplay or unnecessary talking will notbe allowed.A standard part of the safety meeting, which is normallyconducted by the rigger foreman, should contain commentsabout the need to remain alert. Each person’s safetydepends on the safe practices of others. The crew shouldbe reminded that safety is everyone’s responsibility andthat hard hats are required. It is advisable for the erectioncontractor to create a safety check list and have the crewmembers sign it at the end of the safety meeting.The rigger foreman should be clearly identified at thesafety meeting. This individual will be the one the crane02-09The required compression strength of the concrete mustbe attained. The strength of concrete, noted in the erectioninstructions, refers to the concrete compressive strength atthe time of lifting and not the ultimate or 28 day strength .This should be checked by an independent test lab usingbeam or cylinder tests.Blockouts over interior footings should not be broken outprior to the lift, particularly in rainy weather. Water under theslab could make the subgrade weak. Projecting ledgers andreinforcing steel must be brought to the attention of all concerned.All bracing that is attached to the panel prior to the liftmust be inspected for proper length and type.operator will be looking to for all signals. The rigger foremanmust be experienced with handling panels and be totallyfamiliar with the precise set of hand and arm signals. This willsafely communicate his desires to the crane operator. Verbalinstructions are all but impossible due to the noise level in theoperator’s cab.A competent rigger foreman will create and maintain a confidentatmosphere during the lift. He will always remain alertto guard against overconfidence, and will not allow the crewto become careless.During the safety meeting the rigger foreman should demonstratethe proper use of the lifting hardware, bracing hardwareand the proper way to hold a brace and how to use anynecessary tools and equipment. If the crane is using rollingoutriggers a warning to the crew to stay clear is in order.The crew should be broken up into teams for handlingbracing, rigging, and hardware attachment. Each individual’sfunction and responsibility should be clearly defined.The panel contractor should furnish an individual whose21

Spreader bar widths and cable angles areintegral parts of the erection stress analysis.Proper cable lengths are important to the success of thelift.During the LiftPrecautionsWind conditions must be considered prior to lifting a panel.A 40-ton panel will easily move in a slight breeze whenhanging from a crane. All spectators should be kept wellaway from the lift and not allowed to interfere with the proceedings.Panels should be inspected prior to lifting for any reinforcingsteel and/or ledgers that may be projecting beyond thepanel edges that will create interference when the panelis being plumbed next to a previously erected panel. Thishappens most often at corners.After all attachments are made to the panel, and as therigging is being raised to take the slack out of the cables,but prior to initial loading of the inserts, all rigging gear mustbe inspected for proper alignment and be free of snags. Ifnon-swivel type sheaves are used, make certain the sheavesare properly aligned. As cables are being tensioned, theyPlumbing PanelsPrecautionsBe alert when plumbing panels to their final upright position.Caution must be taken to make certain the panel beingplumbed does not strike a previously erected panel. Allpersonnel should be cleared of those critical areas arounda panel when plumbing is being done. If the panel beingplumbed is a closure panel, measurements should be takenprior to lifting to make certain the panel will fit.Tilt-up panels should be as plumb as possible priorto attaching the brace to the floor attachment anchor.Temporary out-of-plumb-ness SHOULD NOT EXCEED 4”measured at the top of the panel. It is generally more practicalto “fine tune” the panel plumb-ness with the pipe bracesafter the lift is completed.BracingGeneralDo not release the crane load if, for any reason, the bracingdoes not appear adequate. Crane loads should always bereleased slowly, keeping an eye on the panel and bracing forany unusual activity. It is desirable that all bracing be completebefore releasing the crane. That is, all knee, lateral, andend or cross bracing, if required, be in place. However, this isnot always possible. You should always be able to install theknee bracing, however, the crane’s position near the panelThe use of cables that are shorter than the prescribedlength will increase stresses in the panel and could causethe panel to crack. If an erector has a problem with riggingdetails or cable lengths, as they are shown in the erectioninstructions, he should not take it upon himself to changethem. Instead, a call should be made to the technical servicecenter from which the erection instructions originated. Analternate solution may be worked out depending on the individualsituation.Extra precautions should be taken when lifting panels withspecial shapes or special rigging. The erection instructionsshould be consulted for CAUTIONARY NOTES as to how apanel might act during lifting, and to again verify the riggingand the insert locations.invariably tend to twist and possibly rotate the lifting hardwarecausing side loading on the hardware. The riggerforeman should be alert for this condition and if it doeshappen, SHOULD HALT THE LIFT AND REALIGN THEHARDWARE.It is the rigger foreman’s responsibility to be alert to allobstacles in the path of the crane and crew. He should bealert for panels that may be stuck to the casting surface.Under such conditions, loads transferred to the lifting insertscould be more than doubled causing possible insert failure.Carefully positioned, pry bars and wedges can often besuccessful in helping the crane release the panel from thecasting surface. Any wedges that are applied to help releasethe panel should be positioned at the insert lines.Braces are almost always attached to the panel prior tolifting. Caution must be taken to be certain the braces willnot be trapped by the rigging when the panel is in the uprightposition.There are two commonly occurring conditions that dictatethat the panels be braced perfectly plumb prior to releasingthe crane:1 ) If the panel is going to support an adjacent spandrel orlintel panel, the supporting panel should be in an accuratefinal position to prevent having to adjust it later when it issupporting another panel.2) If the bracing design calls for a subsupport systemof knee, lateral, and end or cross bracing, then the panelshould be accurately plumbed prior to attaching the subsupportsystem. Panels requiring subsupport systems must notbe plumbed later as the brace subsupport system, if notremoved, must be at least loosened in order to adjust themain brace, thus placing the panel in a dangerous position.may prevent the lateral bracing from being attached.Once the crane is clear of the area, the panel contractormust complete the lateral and end or cross bracing. He mustcomplete this phase of the bracing while remaining no morethan one panel behind the erection crew. All bracing shouldbe completed on all erected panels at the end of the workday.22 02-09

Panel ErectionInformationPanel ErectionInformationBoom PositioningTo safely erect a tilt-up panel, the crane boom mustbe directly over the panel’s center of lift. If the boom is notcorrectly positioned the inserts have different loads thancalculated in the erection analysis and the stresses in thepanel will be greater than anticipated. If insert loads or panelstresses become too large, an insert will pull out of the concreteor the panel will crack.When the crane boom is set toward the bottom of thepanel (under-booming) as the panel is erected, the panelwill slide backwards. When the crane boom is set toward thetop of the panel (over-booming) as the panel is erected, thepanel will slide forward.When a panel slides due to excessive under-boomingor over-booming, it is possible for someone to be trappedbetween panels, between the panel and the crane, betweenpanel braces, etc.Plumbing Face-Lifted PanelsWhen a tilt-up panel is too tall to erect using edge lift insertsand the panel must hang as plumb as possible for setting,there are three standard methods available for use. Oneis the “plumbing block” method, the second is the “brace andre-rig” method and the third is the “transfer” method.Plumbing Block MethodAfter erecting the panel to a vertical position, set thepanel on the ground and tip the panel so that the panel’s topedge rests against the rigging cables. Next, plumbing blockssupplied by others are placed around the cables and hookedover the top of the panel as shown below. The tendency ofthe cables to pull away from the panel will keep the plumbingblocks tight as the crane lifts the panel into position.Correct BoomingOverBoomingUnderBoomingIncorrect BoomingPanels will SlidePlumbing BlockCorrect BoomingUp Face of PanelOverBoomingUnderBoomingIncorrect BoomingPanels will SlideNOTE: Rigging may vary from that shown.WARNINGIncorrect placement of the crane boom can causeover-stressing of the panel/inserts and possible slidingof the panel.

Ground Release IISystemSwift Lift Anchor Shear (Edge Lifting) SWL’She Swift Lift System is very useful for raising tilt-up panels from the horizontal casting position to a vertical position. When theP-52 SL Anchor is used under this shear loading condition, special shear bars must be positioned tightly against the recessplug as shown in the illustrations below to prevent the concrete from spalling. The P-59 Shear Bars must be used to developthe safe shear working loads shown.To develop the shear capacity of the P-52 SL Anchor the minimum spacing between two anchors is two times the cornerdistance. When raising panels to a vertical position, always check both shear SWL and tension SWL.Lifting SystemsCoil InsertsAnchorShaftDiameterxAnchorLength9-1/16”Dia.x6-3/4”or Longer3/4”Dia.x9-1/2”or LongerPanelStructureThicknessMinimumCornerDistanceShear SafeWorkingLoad PerAnchor(lbs.)5” 20” 3,5005-1/2” 20” 4,4006” 20” 5,2007” 20” 5,4008” 20” 5,6005-1/2” 24” 4,2006” 24” 4,4007” 24” 5,2008” 24” 5,600P-59 shear Bar SetbackAnchorShaftADiameter9/16” 1/2”3/4” 3/4”SWL provides a factor of safety of approximately 2 to 1 in2,500 psi concrete.The above Shear Safe Working Loads are based on the use ofP-51 SL Lifting Eye only!

Gyro Tilt PlusSystemHow to use the Gyro Tilt Plus SystemDo Not Use Face Lift Insert For Edge LiftingDo Not Use This System On Top Surface, Seeded, Exposed Aggregate 3/4” or Larger.Precheck all insert holes with hardware prior to erection date, following instruction steps below, so that during tilting, properhardware action is assured. See page 51 for proper procedure for removal of plastic recess plug.Lifting SystemsCoil InsertsInserts Installation — T-49 Gyro Tilt Plus Inserts1. are simply wired to the rebar mat at designated points. Nospecial orientation is required, but reasonable care should betaken to assure that the insert is the correct height for the paneland remains perpendicular to the panel face during concreteplacement.Note: The short length of rebar recommended is an aid to prevent theinsert from moving during concrete placement. When this rebar is addedfor insert stability, it should be placed against the vertical portion of theinsert and at least 1” away from the insert’s foot. This extra rebar is notrequired to develop the insert’s safe working load.Note: This surface is painted red. In the open (unlocked) position, the redpaint will provide a quick, visual warning that the hardware is not in a locked(lifting) position.Ground ReleaseChainRotate ring to engagehardware to insert and toposition locking ball.InsertTop of panelLocking BallTop of panelGyro Tilt PlusHardware in open positionHardware nested in theinsert voidInstallation Complete Locking BallIn PositionHardware Installation — After proper concretecure, the T-50 Gyro Tilt Plus Hardware is attached tothe crane rigging and moved to the panel to be lifted.The plastic void cap is removed from the insertassembly and the void checked for foreign matter.The hardware is placed in the void in the “open”position that allows the hardware to nest over thehead of the insert. Moving the hardware ring to the“closed” position captures the head of the insert andallows the lifting sequence to begin. Visual inspectionwill confirm proper hardware installation.Stripping — After the panel has been lifted, placedand properly braced, the Gyro Tilt Plus Hardwareis released by slackening the crane line and a simple,solid pull on the ground release lanyard. With the hardwarereleased, the crane may move to the next paneland repeat the sequence.Warning! The crane line and bail of the lifting hardware must be turned in the direction of the cable forces before the lifting operationbegins. The crane line must not be allowed to apply a sideward force on the bail, as this condition is dangerous and could lead topremature failure of the hardware or insert.50 04-09

Coil InsertsTotal System and Safe Working LoadsThe user must be aware of the capacity of the total lifting system since the determination of the safe working load involvesconcrete strength and safe working loads of the insert, bolt and lifting hardware. All must be evaluated with the lowestsafe load component determining the safe working load of the system. This handbook has such values listed in tabular formfor all components including the minimum concrete compressive strengths that must exist at time of use. Therefore, do notassume that an insert’s safe working load is that of the system, since the SWL’s of the bolt or lifting hardware may be lessthan that of the insert.

Bracing InformationBrace LoadingBracing recommendations shown in these instructions arefor the sole purpose of temporarily bracing fully erectedtilt-up panels against wind loads only. Dayton Superioruses the wind load provisions described in the AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Minimum Design Loadsfor Building and Other Structures and the Tilt-Up ConcreteAssociation Guideline for Temporary Wind Bracing todetermine the wind loads that are applied to an erectedtilt-up panel.The ASCE 7-02 standard specifies a basic wind speedof 90 mph for most areas of the United States. This 90mph basic wind speed is based on a fifty-year meanrecurrence interval for a three second peak gust speed atthirty-three feet above ground level.However, the ASCE standard allows and the Tilt-Up Associationrecommends, that the 90 mph basic wind speedbe multiplied by a factor of 0.80 for a five year recurrenceinterval. This allows the use of a construction period designwind speed of 72 mph in calculating brace loads formost areas of the United States.For areas of the country having a basic wind speed differentthan 90 mph, the following construction period wind speed willbe used for the design of the temporary bracing.Basic Wind Speed Construction PeriodWind Speed90 mph 72 mph minimum100 mph 80 mph minimum140 mph 112 mph150 mph 120 mphParts of the United states that are in the Special WindRegions shown on the ASCE Basic Wind Speed map willrequire a higher construction period design wind speed thannormal. The construction period design wind speed usedin the design of the bracing for this project is shown in thelower left hand corner of each panel layout sheet. If the localbuilding code requires a higher construction period designwind speed, DO NOT erect any panels before contactinga Dayton Superior Technical Service Center for additionalbracing recommendations.Bracing InformationWARNINGIf wind loads of 35 mph occur, an inspection of allbrace connections should be made. Loose connectionscan cause panels to fall. If local codesrequire a higher construction period design windspeed, contact Dayton Superior for additional bracingrecommendations.Location V mph V m/sHawaii 105 47Puerto Rico 145 65Alaska varies varies04-0973

Bracing InformationBrace LoadingBracing recommendations are for the sole purpose oftemporarily bracing fully erected concrete tilt-up panelsduring construction - against wind loads only. This temporarybracing design is based on The American Society of CivilEngineers (ASCE) Minimum Design Loads for Building andother Structures, as recommended by the Tilt-up ConcreteAssociation’s Guideline for Temporary Wind Bracing ofTilt-up Concrete Panels During Construction, TCA Guideline1-05. The ASCE standard and the TCA guideline allow thebasic wind speed, which is based on a 50-year mean recurrenceinterval, to be multiplied by a reduction factor for a5-year mean recurrence interval which determines the constructionwind speed used in the design of bracing systems.Brace anchors and main, knee, lateral and/or end bracesare not designed or intended to sustain impact loads.Precautions must be taken to arrange the panel erectionsequence so as to avoid the potential for impacting uprightpanels or portions of the bracing system. Bracingrecommendations for other loads or forces that might beapplied to the bracing system are beyond the scope ofDayton Superior. For bracing recommendations other thanwind loads, the user should engage a design agency withcapabilities of performing such a service.Brace RemovalThis bracing system is designed to temporarily supporttilt-up panels against wind loads until the building structureis complete and self supporting. The bracing system shouldnever be disconnected or removed until the panels aresecured by the permanent structural connections and alllateral load resisting systems are in place.If the structural documents do not indicate when thetemporary bracing system can be removed, the engineerof record should be consulted.Bracing InformationSafety Notes:• Panel should be plumb with braces and knee bracesinstalled before crane releases panel.• Lateral bracing should be installed immediately uponthe crane and crew clearing the braces and before thenext panel is erected.• Lateral bracing must be continuous, connected ateach brace, and tied off with end braces at the end ofeach line.• Panels require a minimum of two braces per panel.• End braces to ground and/or cross braces must beinstalled every 100 ft. to prevent lateral movement ofbraces and to provide total brace stability.• All members of the brace system must be in place andsecured at the end of each day.• Knee and lateral bracing must be located atmid-length of pipe brace.• Knee brace must be firmly fixed at bottom end toprevent possible upward buckling of main brace.• Do not erect panels or continue working duringexcessive windy or adverse weather conditions.• All brace inserts should be a minimum of 12” from anypanel edge, opening, control joint or construction joint.• Panel bracing is designed to withstand specified windloads until panels are connected to the structuralsystem of the building. Do not remove any membersof the bracing system until all structural connectionsare completed.• Use only the brace type as noted on the Panel LayoutSheet. No substitute brace hardware shall be used andall braces must be positioned at the specified locations.• For special bracing conditions that require deviationfrom the bracing dimensions shown on the PanelLayout Sheet contact Dayton Superior forrecommendations.• See Panel Layout Sheet for type of brace, number ofbraces per panel, as well as knee and lateral bracingrequirements.• Welding or bolting the tilt-up panels in place mightpreclude the use of braces.• After winds of 35 mph or more have been experiencedat the job site, the tilt-up contractor must check thetightness of the bolts that secure the wall and footplates to the concrete. Re-tightening of these boltsto the proper torque will assure that the pipe bracesare secure.• The safe working load of the panel’s bracing systemmay be drastically reduced if other types of braceanchors are used as part of this project’s bracingsystem, other than specified brace anchors.• Slab design must be reviewed by the engineer of recordto insure slab is capable of withstanding the loads beingtransfered from the braces.Warning! Failure to install knee, lateral and end braces (whenrequired) will greatly reduce the safe working load of the specifiedbrace and may allow panels to fall causing severe injury or death.74 04-09

Bracing InformationBrace to Floor SlabsDayton Superior specifies ONLY the T-4 castin-placeanchor or the T-13 COIL-ANCHOR drill-inanchor for use in attaching braces to the floor slab.When bracing tilt-up panels to a floor slab, a 5”minimum thick slab should be used unless it has beenthickened at the brace anchor location as shown.Normally, a floor slab having a uniform thickness of5” or greater is used in the construction of a tilt-upbuilding. However, the floor slab thickness must bedesigned by a competent engineer as the thickness3/4” DiameterCut WasherT-13 Drill-in Anchor orT-4 Cast In Anchor5” Minimum 5” Minimumdepends on several factors, including: basic wind speed, panel height, distance from panel to the first floor joint, leave outwidth and various dimensions of the bracing system.Warning! The floor slab sections may not be adequate to safely support the loads applied to the floor slab by the wall braces. It is the contractor’sresponsibility to decide if a section of floor slab can safely support the applied brace loads. Dayton Superior cannot make this determinationas it has no control over floor slab thickness, control joint spacings, width of the floor slab “leave out” strip or other factors that mayaffect the load carrying capacity of the floor slab. Movement of a section of floor slab can cause panels to fall, which may result in propertydamage and/or severe personal injury. The floor slab should be designed by a competent engineer to resist the applied loads. To assist thecontractor or engineer, the total brace load per panel is shown on each panel detail sheet provided by Dayton Superior.Brace Length and Safe Working LoadsHow to Calculate Brace LengthD = Elevation — top of panel above floor slab(not necessarily same as panel height).W = Wall insert dimension = 2/3 DF = Floor insert dimension = 3/4 WB = Brace length = 5/4 WThe brace dimension (W) must be a minimum of 5% of the panel’soverall height above the panel’s geometric and mass center ofgravity. After the locations of the braces are determined, the panelstructure should be checked to verify that it is strong enough toresist temporary wind loads.Brace locations other than those shown may drastically increasebrace loads. Brace angles over 60 o from the horizontal result inpoor mechanical advantage and excessive vertical kick, whilebrace angles under 50 o decrease brace buckling strength due togreater length and excessive sag.Without knee brace means that brace type can be adjusted forvarious lengths of “B” shown, and brace may be used withoutknee, lateral or end bracing.With knee brace means that brace type can be adjusted forvarious lengths of “B” shown and requires the use of knee, lateraland end bracing to obtain the SWL listed.Danger! Bracing must be installed at 90 o ± 5 o to plane of panel orbrace safe working load will be greatly reduced.The following is a quick “Rule of Thumb” to use indetermining if a brace is installed at 90 o ± 5 o to the panel:The brace may be skewed left or right 1 inch for every 1foot that the brace anchor is located away from the wall.For example: If your dimension “F” is 15 ft. then yourbraces may be skewed 15” left or right and still stay withinthe required 5 o tolerance.

It is common to refer to the sub-bracing support systemof the main braces as knee bracing. However, the user is to beaware that when knee bracing is required, it means that lateralbracing and end bracing must also be included. This sub-supportsystem is needed to reduce the buckling length of the main pipebraces and must have firm connections at all points. The knee bracemust also be connected at its bottom end.Warning! If winds over 35 miles per hour are experienced on thejob site, all bolts that secure the wall and foot plates to the concretemust be checked and retightened to the proper torque to assure thatthe pipe braces are secure.04-0977

Dayton Superior does not specify or approve any other type of cast-in-place or drill-in anchor forthe bracing of tilt-up wall panels. If any other type of brace anchor is used, the contractor does so at his own riskand assumes the risk of all serious personal injury, death or property damage which may result. By using suchunspecified and unapproved brace anchor, the contractor agrees to indemnify and hold Dayton Superior harmlessagainst all damages and losses that may occur.When two braces per panel are required, the normal brace insert location for solid panels is .1 to .2 of panel width,minimum of 12”, inward from panel side.

Sandwich PanelConnectorsP-24 Delta TieThe Dayton Superior P-24 Delta Tie is a unique insulated tilt-up concrete panel connector. It allows the contractor tofabricate a highly energy-efficient, insulated concrete sandwich wall panel using the insulating foam of his choice.This versatile connector allows the foam insulation to be placed from panel edge to panel edge, eliminating thermalbridges and costly energy loss. The foam insulation is sandwiched between two concrete wythes, or layers, to form a longlasting,energy-efficient concrete sandwich wall panel. The three wythes are tied together using P-24 Delta Ties. Spacing ofthe Delta Ties varies, based on the panel’s required composite moment capacity.The Delta Tie is produced using an engineered composite matrix. It consists ofa geometrically configured, two-dimensional truss manufactured from continuouswound fiberglass embedded in an alkali resistant resin. The design of the Delta Tieproduces a connector of remarkable strength and durability.The non-metallic, non-corrosive design of the Delta Tie eliminates any thermaltransfer through the panel, increasing the insulating efficiency of the panel.Advantages• Increased load bearing.• Stiffer insulated panels, easier to handle.• Design flexibility.• Material, labor and transportation cost reduction.• Quick and easy installation.• Applicable to all brands of foam panel insulation.P-24 Delta TieThe standard Delta Tie dimensions are shown in the accompanying detail.The connector is designed so that it can be oriented in the panel either on endor side, depending on the thickness of the insulation. For example, the 5” x 7” sizecan be used on its side in a 1” to 2” insulation or on end for 2” to 4” insulation. TheDelta Tie can be used with any rigid insulation from 1” to 4” thick. This versatile,dual-use feature adds to the Delta Tie’s effective application compatibility and, atthe same time, reduces inventory and storage requirements.In individual connector specimen and full size panel tests the Delta Tie hasexhibited excellent loading behavior and load capacities.Increased Load BearingTests have verified the excellent tension and shear strength characteristics of theDelta Tie insulated panel connector.The P-24 Delta Tie has the following ultimate capacities:• 3,220 lbs. in shear.• 3,100 lbs. in tension.Stiffer Insulated Concrete PanelsPatent PendingP-24 Delta TieThe inherent capabilities of the truss design greatly increase the stiffness of the panel. The added stiffness makes the paneleasier to lift, handle, store and/or transport.Design FlexibilityDue to the composite action gained by using the Delta Tie, panels may be cast in longer lengths or with thinner concretewythes. Contact Dayton Superior for design programs available for Engineers.Cost SavingsThe Delta Tie design provides a fast and easy installation to save labor. It produces stiffer panels to lessen handling. Theconnector’s design flexibility allows the cost saving attributes to be designed into the panel. Delta Tie connectors are purchasedas a separate item, allowing the contractor to provide the foam insulation of his choice.Quick and Easy InstallationThe two-dimensional design of the Delta Tie lends itself to easy installation. No drilling or special tools required. Simply usethe foam as a straight-edge template to quickly place the connectors.5"3"1/2" Typ.5"7"Sandwich PanelSystemMaximum recommended spacing is 8 square feet of panel per panel connector.For spacing other then 8 square feet of panel per connector, contact a Dayton Superior Technical Service Center.To Order:Specify: (1) quantity, (2) name.Example:500, P-24 Delta Ties.02-0987

The panel stiffness maybe altered, as necessary, pending panel parameters, by adjusting the tie distribution as a function of the internal shear and momentforces. The two examples, below, illustrate the required stiffness (percent composite action) necessary to develop the shear andmoment forces.1. A panel measuring 37'-0" long by 6'-0"wide, with a 3-2-3 wythe pattern, musthave a 5% composite action to achieve aflat lift with 4x2 rigging.2. A 2-2-2 panel of same size requires a 10%composite action for the same rigging.In order to employ the least amount of concreteto save weight, the percent of compositeaction must increase.A small upward adjustment can be realized bya minimal addition of connectors strategicallyplaced at the zones of maximum shear.Moment Capacity (ft-lbs)2000001800016000140001200010000800060004000Chart based on 6'-0'' Panel Widthf'c = 5,000 psifba = 424 psi3-2-32-2-2200000%10%20%30%40%50%60% 70%Percent Composite88 02-09

Sandwich PanelConnectorsDelta Tie Installation InformationHOW IS SPACING ACHIEVED IN THE FIELD?Dayton Superior recommends the use of 4-0” wide x 8’-0” long sheets of extruded insulation foam when using the P-24Delta Tie. This allows the contractor to space ties at 4’-0” centers across the width of the panel and then vary the verticalspacing depending on percentage of composite action desired. Sheets, 2’-0” x 8’-0”, can be utilized for other spacing.WHAT ARE THE INSTALLATION STEPS FOR THE DELTA TIE?1) Install the required reinforcing, then place and screed the concrete for the outer wythe to its designed thickness.2) Cut the first strip of foam to a width not exceeding 12” and place it tightly against the side of the form and on top of thejust placed concrete while concrete is still in its wet or plastic state.3) Insert the first row of Delta Ties tight against the edge of the foam, spaced vertically from top to bottom of panel.Minimum tie embedment into the fresh concrete is 1-1/2”.If the tie hits the reinforcing mesh prior to reaching its minimum embedment depth, move the tie slightly so that the reinforcingmesh sits in the depressed “V” section of the tie.4) Place a full 4-0” wide section of foam tight against the first row of P-24 ties, then insert the second row of Delta Tiesfrom top to bottom of panel.5) Repeat this process across the width of the panel until there is 12” or less left between the last full sheet of foam andthe side form.6) Install the last strip of foam cut to size in width, and force it between the last row of Delta Ties and the side form.7) Once the concrete in the bottom wythe has stiffened, complete the balance of the panel by installing the required reinforcingsteel, embeds and concrete. Finish and cure the backside of the panel per the project’s specifications.It is critical and required that Steps #1 through #6 above be completed immediately after the bottom wythe has been consolidatedand leveled to required thickness. This is to ensure that the concrete mix is in a wet or plastic state and workable tobe able to embed the Delta Tie properly. If the Delta Tie is not embedded into the concrete while the concrete is still plastic,the concrete will not properly flow through the openings in the tie, which “locks” and holds the tie into the concrete. This couldresult in failure of the panel.IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES:1). The person that is installing the foam insulation and Delta Ties should lightly step several times on the foam immediatelyadjacent to and surrounding the tie to make certain concrete is consolidated around the tie and flows in and around the“anchoring” holes in the tie.2) Set time of concrete varies as a function of many factors, including (but not limited to): mix design, concrete temperature,ambient temperature and mix time. The installer must ensure that the concrete has not reached initial set before ties areinstalled.3) As the P-24 Delta Tie is a one-way shear connector, meaning it is stronger in one direction than it is in the other direction,care must be taken to make certain it is installed in its intended orientation in the panel.4) With the Delta Tie visible above the foam, it is easy to verify if the Delta Tie is set at its proper depth. Utilize a tape measureto randomly check that the ties have a minimum of 1-1/2” above the foam.WHAT CRITERIA SHOULD WE USE TO DETERMINE WHAT DIRECTION THE DELTA TIE SHOULD BE PLACED(5” OR 7” VERTICAL) WITH DIFFERENT FOAM THICKNESSES?Delta Ties are installed to achieve a minimum of 1-1/2” in each concrete wythe. The tie is rotated using either the 5” or 7”dimension to achieve this minimum concrete depth. The chart below details the correct direction of the Delta Tie based oninsulation thickness:Sandwich PanelSystemINSULATION THICKNESSHORIZONTAL DIMENSION OF TIE TO PANEL FACE1” 7”1-1/2” 7”2” 7”2-1/2” 5”3” 5”3-1/2” 5”4” 5”WHAT IS THE LEARNING CURVE ON INSTALLING DELTA TIES?Contractors have been able to learn quickly how to efficiently install the Delta Tie. In fact, at one jobsite, the crew was able toinstall the ties so quickly that it was estimated they had reduced the time to install the ties and insulation by almost 50% overthe time it took to install the competitive system.02-0989

Form LinersApplication GuideTilt-Up applications ApplicationSingle use SPS plastic is most frequently used for Tilt-Up applications. Basic procedures for attachment are as follows:1. Identify the pour side of the form liner. The pour side can be identified by the roughened, “hair cell” texture or as the sidewith the highest resolution in the pattern. The shiny or slick side of the liner will be placed against the slab or formwork.2. Because of the nature of plastic to expand and contract, it may be necessary for the material to be trimmed. The easiest wayto cut is to use a circular hand saw (skill saw) with a fine tooth, plywood blade such as the type used for cutting fine veneerpaneling. Form liner without much relief may be trimmed by scoring with a sharp knife and breaking off the excess.3. The effects of temperature, thermal expansion and contraction must be considered. The size of the liner will expand andcontract approximately 1/16” in 10’ with each 10° temperature change. Form liner should be installed at about the sametemperature as expected during the placement of concrete. Early morning is recommended.4. In Tilt-Up applications, the recommended method of form liner attachment is to place the liner on the slab, drill a hole throughthe liner and into the concrete, place a wooden dowel into the drilled hole, break the dowel off flush with the surface, andthen use a large-headed roofing nail to hold the liner in place.5. Double-sided foam tape may be used for Tilt-Up jobs. Make sure the casting slab and form liner are clean, dry and free ofdust.6. Heavy duct tape can be applied to the form liner at joints on the slab or formwork side. This is the recommended methodfor pre-assembling large liners for precast or Tilt-Up beds. The liner is assembled upside down and alongside the bed andthen rolled into the formwork.7. Seal all joints and contain liner on all sides so that concrete cannot move under it. Be sure the liner is flat against the castingsurface, insuring that no deformations are present in the form liner. Do not allow form liner to move around freely.Concrete DesignThe design of the concrete mix will affect the finished form liner appearance because it causes changes in workability, pressure,color, set and strength.Load concrete onto the form liner from the centers, moving the concrete towards the outside perimeter with rakes. Do not allowconcrete to be pushed under the form liner at joints.Form LinersArchitectural Concrete02-09101

MiscellaneousT-75 Special Drill-in Lift PlateBase PlateDayton Superior T-75 Drill-in Lift Plate is designed and testedfor use as an emergency repair lift plate in special situationswhere a normal cast-in-place tilt-up face pickup insert is missing,tipped over, improperly located or otherwise unusable.The lift plate is to be installed so that it is centered over theoriginal insert location. When the lift plate cannot be installed atthe original insert location, contact Dayton Superior.When installing the T-75 Drill-in Lift plate, always check tomake certain the Lifting Lug is aligned in the direction of thecables. DO NOT apply loads at an angle to the flat side of thelifting lug!The T-75 Drill-in Lift Plate is to be attached to the face of theprecast concrete tilt-up wall panel using either four or six properlyinstalled Dayton Superior T-13 Coil-Anchors, 3/4” diameter x 6”long drill-In expansion anchors. Minimum edge distance fromcenter line of Coil-Anchor bolts is 12”. Edge distances of lessthan 12” may result in a reduced lifting capacity.To install the T-75 Special Drill-in Lift plate, set the plate in itsproper position and mark the hole locations. Drill the requirednumber of holes using a new 3/4” diameter carbide tipped drill bit.Depth of drilled holes must be at least 5-1/2” with all holes drilledat 90 degrees to the surface of the panel.Using compressed air, just before installation of the Coil-Anchorbolts, clean out all of the drilled holes. Failure to properly cleanthe holes may result in a reduced lift plate load carrying capacity.T-75 Special Drill-inLift Plate TypicalApplicationLifting LugT-75 SpecialDrill-inLift PlateInsert the assembled T-13 Coil-Anchor bolts through the holesin the lift plate into properly drilled and cleaned holes. Using ahammer, tap the Coil-Anchor bolts all the way into the holes sothat the washer and bolt heads come to rest on the top surface ofthe lift plate.Tighten the T-13 Coil-Anchor bolts using a 3/4” air impactwrench. The bolts must be checked with a torque wrench to makecertain that they have been torqued to 200 ft. Ib. Use the crane toplace a light load onto the lift plate. Release the load and checkall bolts to make certain they are still tightened to 200 ft. Ib. Boltstorqued to a lower value will have a reduced load carrying capacity.Do not attempt to pre-expand the Coil-Anchor Tang.For proper load carrying capacity, the Tang must not be installedmore than 1-1/2 turns onto the bolt. Do not attemptto use a standard coil bolt with the Coil-Anchor Tang, asthis combination will not develop any load carrying capacity. TheCoil-Anchor bolt is a special tapered bolt and is notinterchangeable with standard coil bolts.The safe working loads (SWL) of these drill-in expansionanchors and lift plate are shown below. The safe working loadsare determined by the number of T-13 expansion anchors actuallyused to attach the lift plate to the tilt-up panel.Number of T-13 Drill-inExpansion AnchorsTension or ShearSafe Working Load4 bolts (2 per each side) 8,500 lbs.6 bolts (3 per each side) 15,000 lbs.Note: Insert SWL’s are based on approximately a 2 to 1 factor ofsafety. Lift plate develops approximately a 5 to 1 factor of safetybased on a maximum SWL of 15,000 lb.The above SWL’s are based on the lifting plate being installedso that the raised lifting lug is aligned with the direction of thelifting cables.In order to develop the safe working loads of the T-75 SpecialDrill-in Lift Plate, the normal weight concrete in the panel must haveattained a minimum compressive strength of 2,500 psi. These safeworking loads assume the T-13 Coil-Anchor expansion anchors havebeen properly installed.The base of the lift plate measures 5/8” x 12” x 12” and hassix 1” diameter holes drilled at 4” centers vertically and 8” centershorizontally.Use only the 6” T-13 Coil Anchor with the T-75 Special Drill-In LiftPlate.

Cure Miscellaneous andBondbreakerBond BreakersA bond breaker is a ‘material used to prevent adhesionof the newly placed concrete and the substrate’*. When abond breaker is needed at a construction joint, a curingcompound, form release agent and the like can act as abond breaker. Bond breakers used in tilt-wall construction,however, are specifically formulated for that purpose and thechemistry involved with these bond breakers is different thanthat of other “bondbreakers”.• ACI116 Cement and Concrete terminologyCuringProper, and immediate, curing is vital to the success ofa tilt-wall project1. Timing is more critical on the cure coat than the bondbreaker coat2. Proper curing will help create a less porous , moredense surface3. The more dense the surface the easier the panels willlift4. For projects requiring an ASTM C-309 cure, use theDayton System:Dayton Superior Bond BreakerSure-Lift (J-6)Sure-Lift J-6 WBCure-Lift EF-- solvent-based-- water-based-- bio-basedPrior to placement of the J-6, cure the slab with one of thefollowing:1. J-22 @ 300-350 Ft 2 /gal2. J-23 @ 300-400 Ft 2 /galPrior to placement of the J-6 WB, cure the slab with one ofthe following:1. J-18 @ 200-300 Ft²/gal2. J-22 @ 300-350 Ft²/gal3. J-23 @ 300-400 Ft²/gal4. J-ll-W @ 200 Ft²/galPreparation for applying the Bond Breaker• All surfaces must be clean• For hot weather precautions, prior to the first bondbreaker application, soak the slab to satisfy it’s ‘thirst’and reduce it’s porosity; After soaking, squeegee off theexcess water then immediately apply the bond breaker.Using this procedure will help to keep the bond breakeron the surface, not in the concrete.Placement of the Bond Breaker• Always read and follow the instructions in the currentdata sheet• Apply the bond breaker evenly, being sure not to leavepuddles• It is best to have several lighter applications than oneheavy application“Good Indications”Three quick checks that indicate good parting of the panels:1. feel a soapy residue on the surface2. beading of water3. observing an uniform appearance of the bond breakerSolvent-Based vs. Water-BasedWater has very high surface tension whilesolvents are low. Surface tension is directly relatedto wetting and adhesion. Liquids with a highsurface tension, like water, are not necessarilyas efficient in this respect as the lower surfacetension materials like solvents. This is the reasonwhy water-based materials do not lay down aseasily as solvent-based materials and why waterbased are easier to over apply.Dayton Superior Bond Breaker ComparisonsCondition J-6 J-6 WBShelf Life 12 months 9 monthsMixingNot req’d, but goodto do occassionallyAgitation requiredprior to each useFlammability High NoWarehouse storageper Uniform fire CodeLimitedQuantitiesUnlimitedQuantitiesFreezable No YesMiscellaneous andChemical Products02-09111

MiscellaneousCure andBondbreakerSure-Lift (J-6) Premium Cure BondbreakerMiscellaneous andChemical Productsthe casting slab surface as well as a weakened and overlyporous slab surface.SPRAY EQUIPMENTThe (J-6) Bondbreaker must be applied by a highquality “low-pressure pump-up type sprayer” such asmanufactured by Hudson, Chapin or others. The tip sizemust be able to produce a well atomized spray pattern. Thesprayer must be kept under sufficient pressure to correctlyatomize the (J-6) without streaming, tailing, or spitting. A1/2 (0.5) gal. /minute tip is generally recommended formost applications. The use of an improper sprayer, a dirtysprayer, lower than adequate pressures or wrong tip canresult in an uneven application, and either over or underapplication.First Bondbreaker CoatThe casting bed should be free of all foreign material,salts, laitance and the (J-6) protected, while drying, fromall contaminants or particulate matter (i.e., dust, dirt,etc.). Just prior to placing the reinforcing steel, and withintwo weeks of pouring the panels, spray apply the firstbondbreaker application of (J-6) at 400 ft²/gal. (9.8m²/L)to the point of rejection. Spray at right angles to curingcompound spray pattern. Specific site conditions maydictate coverage rates other than the normal recommendedcoverage rates. Adjust the actual applied rates accordingly.Second Bondbreaker CoatWait until first coat dries, approximately 2 hours dependingon temperature and humidity, and apply a second coat atright angles to the previous coat. Coverage for the secondcoat will typically be 550 to 700 ft²/gal. (13.5-17.2 m²/L).If light or white spots appear within 10-40 minutes afterspraying, those areas are extra porous and should befogged with water followed by a reapplication of the (J-6) at550 to 700 ft²/gal. (13.5-17.2 m²/L). Specific site conditionsmay dictate coverage rates other than the normalrecommended coverage rates. Adjust the actual appliedrates accordingly.The number of bondbreaker coats and coverage ratesnecessary to achieve a complete uniform coverage ishighly dependant on the concrete casting slab mix designas well as its inherent porosity, finishing techniques, and otherrelated site specific ambient conditions. Adequatebondbreaker application is in large part dependant upondevelopment of a uniform soap like feel of the bondbreakertreated surface as well as beading of water. Bondbreakercan also be checked by rolling up a small ball like amountunder thumb pressure.Extremely porous or rough casting slabs will necessitatesuccessive additional coats of bondbreaker to achieve aconsistent uniform membrane of the correct coverage rateand membrane thickness. Extremely porous or otherwiseabsorptive slabs can also be fogged with water to asaturated surface dry (SSD) condition prior to application ofbondbreaker.BONDBREAKER TESTTo verify the integrity of the bondbreaker coat, sprinklewater on the casting bed. (Water should bead up as ona freshly waxed automobile). The applied, dried materialshould have a soap like feel, uniformly over the substrate.The application should appear uniform and continuous, withlight areas requiring re-application. Failure to verify properuniform application and coverage rates can result in panelsticking. Testing must be performed over a large enoughsurface area in an adequate testing frequency to provideaccurate and meaningful results.112 02-09PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONSURE LIFT (J-6) is a reactive and membrane formingbondbreaker for use in tilt wall construction.

Casting slab surfaces exposed to rain mayrequire reapplication of the bondbreaker at a coverage rateat 550-700 ft²/gal (13.5-17.2 m²/l).Do not apply below 40°F(4°C) or when ambient temperatures are expected to fallbelow 40°F (4°C) within 12 hours.Not recommended for application to casting slabconcrete that has been cured with curing blankets orplastic coverings without first removing the salts from theconcrete’s surface before application of the bondbreaker.Surface salts can result in surface defects.Application of the bondbreaker as a cure coat during coolweather or when a moisture barrier has been used willresult in longer than normal drying times. Application intwo thin coats rather than one thick coat will reduce the drytime.Properly applied, casting beds and tilt panels can normallybe coated or sealed after appropriate cleaning and orsurface preparation of the surfaces. The manufacture ofthe coating, paint, sealer, adhesive or other subsequenttreatments should be consulted for specific substratecleaning and preparation requirements and instructionsprior to painting.The Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) Tilt Tips “PaintingTilt-Up Panels” document should be understood andfollowed if painting of the tilt panels is anticipated. Overapplication can lead to excessive transfer to the panelsand potentially cause problems with subsequent paintadhesion. A mock up test panel of any subsequentapplication of paint/coatings or other membrane formingtreatments should always be applied and tested to verifyproper coating adhesion and adequate cleaning andsurface preparation of the tilt panels. Improper concretemix designs, overly porous or weak casting slab concrete,failure to properly finish and/or cure the concrete and/oruneven or improper application and insufficient mixing ofthe bondbreaker can lead to panel sticking.Miscellaneous andChemical Products02-09115
