| Summary: | The 4 previous reports on the topic reviewed by the authors made several suggestions for further tilt-up construction research including: instrumentation of more tilt-up buildings, studies of connection improvement in existing tilt-ups, better period estimation, more and better documentation of damage in tilt-ups, the strength of connections in cross-grain ledger bending, and amplification of forces at pilasters. The most important element in tilt-up design lies in the design of the connections of the diaphragm to the walls. Strong, stiff connections are needed for good building performance during an earthquake. |
