The newest publication from the TCA is the third in a
trilogy of resources covering the architecture, engineering
and construction of tilt-up. Engineering Tilt-Up contains
basic engineering principles and code interpretation as well
as in depth analysis of a tilt-up structure and its
components. The thorough guide breaks down tilt-up design to
educate beginners as well as experienced engineers. Authored
by Timothy W. Mays, Ph.D., P.E. and Joseph J. Steinbicker,
P.E., S.E., Engineering Tilt-Up contains 325 pages of
completely new content.
According to
Mays, Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at The Citadel in Charleston,
S.C., "The organization of the chapters making up the main body of the text are
ideal for engineers just beginning with tilt-up or for seasoned tilt-up
engineers looking for excellent example problems that focus on the latest codes
and standards such as the 2012 IBC and ASCE/SEI 7-10."
In addition to the chapter material, Engineering Tilt-Up features three,
full-building design examples presenting simplified standard practice approaches
to design on realistic yet complex situations and constraints that are
considered on actual projects. "Adhering to the latest codes and standards, the
book serves as a one-of-a-kind resource for tilt-up engineers looking for an
excellent summary of standard practice in tilt-up and alternative ways to seek
code compliance," said Mays. |
