Abstract:
Tilt-up and precast construction often compete in the marketplace as concrete system solutions. Yet, there is a growing trend that marries the two systems—typically with tilt-up wall panels supporting precast, double-tee flooring and/or roofing systems—to conveniently take full advantage of the strengths offered by each method. It is an approach applicable in projects varying from commercial buildings to parking structures—for owners seeking durability, economy, and speed of construction.
