Introduction of Tilt-Up Construction and Details of Connection

Abstract

Tilt-up is a method for constructing concrete wall rapidly and economically without formwork. A large number of tilt-up structures have been constructed in North America and other developed countries, and it will also be an acceptable term for new construction in China. Tilt-up process can reduce the cost of labor and materials in wall construction. As the damage of earthquake, the connection of the tilt-up building is the most important part which attracts more attention to engineers. At the end of this paper, details of connection are discussed as the codes introduced.
