The site cast method of forming, casting, lifting, and placing precast panels to construct buildings in what is more commonly known as Tilt-Up concrete construction has matured worldwide to staggering displays of form that challenges modern designers to see function in new light. Tilt-up concrete buildings are evolving into a new architectural style unique to its own brand of construction.

The contents of this course include three recorded presentations from the ACI 2012 Fall Convention and ACI 2016 Fall Convention:
1. Dramatic Global Examples of Form Inspiring Function by James Baty
2. Evolution of Form Sets Sights on the New "Box" by Kimberly Kramer
3. Crane Selection by Scott Hosking

1. Recognize the artistic and aesthetic potential for tilt-up through evidence of existing structures, including their unique architectural concrete finishes.
2. Identify the unique and inherent characteristics of modern tilt-up that enable it to be a problem-solving method of construction for complex structures and programs.
3. Explain the pros and cons of various construction cranes used to form, cast, handle, lift, and place precast concrete panels using tilt-up construction.
4. Describe the information that is provided in precast panel drawing plans, and lift and bracing plans for the tilt-up panel construction.
