Tilt-Up Design Systems, LLC – a company that develops integrated project design and construction technology solutions for the site-cast precast (tilt-up) concrete industry – has released a free web-based tool for quick preliminary panel thickness and reinforcing estimates.
The tool works by simply entering the panel width, height, thickness, design wind speed/exposure and opening width for your project.
An estimate of the reinforcing steel required will be provided measured in pounds per square-foot based on the gross panel area. The tool was developed using Tilt-Werks technology.
