Load Bearing Precast Concrete Wall Panels

Since 1951 speed fab crete has specialized in a structurally load bearing precast high strength concrete wall panel building system.

Load bearing precast concrete wall panels.

These can be panelized and erected in either a horizontal or vertical position and used on all types of structures from residential to commercial institutional to industrial. Architectural precast concrete wall panels that act as loadbearing elements in a building are both a structurally efficient and economical means of transferring floor and roof loads through the structure and into the foundation. Solid precast concrete wall panels for use in many interior exterior and load bearing or non load bearing building applications. And serviceability as a load bearing wall.

Precast concrete shear wall panels are used to provide lateral load resisting system when combined with diaphragm action of the floor construction. This combination is also completely fire resistant and sound transmission is reduced allowing intrusive noise to be kept at a minimum. Typically precast concrete wall systems fall into three basic categories. The reinforcement consisted of welded wire mesh 6 x 6 6 6 152 x.

Wall panels can be designed as non loadbearing or loadbearing carrying floor and roof loads as well as lateral loads. Precast concrete shear wall panels provide a lateral load resisting system when combined with the diaphragm action of the floor construction. Bearing capacity tests on precast concrete thin wall ribbed panels zenon a. Every precast wall panel has a thick layer of energy efficient thermal insulation integrally sandwiched between a very durable concrete interior and a unique beautiful exterior finish.

Precast concrete bearing wall panel design alternative design method using aci 318 11 a structural precast reinforced concrete wall panel in a single story building provides gravity and lateral load resistance for the following applied loads. Further investigate the bearing capacity of full scale wall panels. The effectiveness of precast shear walls is largely dependent upon the panel to panel connections. Typical load bearing wall units include solid wall panels and window wall and spandrel panels.

Architectural panel applications and various veneer finishes including a precast thin brick system are among numerous options offered by a proven leader in the american precast concrete manufacturing industry. Weight of 10dt24 468 plf roof dead load 20 psf roof live load 30 psf wind load 30 psf the 10dt24 are spaced 5 ft on center. Oldcastle infrastructure walls are available with a variety of finishes textures colors and patterns to meet specific project needs. Precast concrete bearing wall panel design alternative analysis method using aci 318 14 a structural precast reinforced concrete wall panel in a single story building provides gravity and lateral load resistance for the following applied loads.

In many cases this integration can also simplify construction and reduce costs. Solid sandwich and thin shell. However the test models used in this research were.
