Precast Concrete Bearing Wall Panel Design (Alternative Analysis Method) (ACI 318-19)
A structural precast reinforced concrete wall panel in a single-story building provides gravity and lateral load resistance for the following applied loads:
Weight of 10DT24 | = 468.00 plf |
Roof dead load | = 20.00 psf |
Roof live load | = 30.00 psf |
Wind load | = 30.00 psf |
The 10DT24 are spaced 5.00 ft on center. The assumed precast wall panel section and reinforcement are investigated after analysis to verify suitability for the applied loads then compared with numerical analysis results obtained from the spWall engineering software program by StructurePoint.
