Abstract:
Slender concrete walls for tilt-up construction are typically designed following the alternative slender wall provisions in ACI 318. Wall designers however may implement different theoretical approaches with the belief that their efforts will increase accuracy and efficiency. Unfortunately, these usually run counter to the observed experimental behavior and can lead to significantly unconservative wall designs.
