Millions of square meters of tilt-up wall panels have been designed and erected in Australia over the past twenty years. Tilt-up has developed from an occasionally used technique to the preferred walling system for many industrial, retail and low-rise commercial buildings. To date Australian structural designers of tilt-up have had to rely on USA design manual or methods promoted by equipment suppliers in that country. Aware of this lack of design aids, the Concrete Institute of Australia has produced the Recommended Practice to assist designers to comply with the requirements of AS 3600, Concrete structures.
