Is the building height greater than 20 feet tall?2. Is there a precast plant within 100 miles?3. Is there a masonry plant within 100 miles?4. Are you willing to pay a premium for a faster completion?5. Does the site have room for curing of site cast panels?6. Does the site have crane access?Decision Tool ExampleAn owner wants to build….•30 foot tall building•Nearest precast plant 50 miles •Nearest masonry plant 200 miles •Owner willing to pay for quicker completion•Sufficient flat space for formwork•Sufficient crane accessAn owner wants to build….•30 foot tall building•Nearest precast plant 50 miles •Nearest masonry plant 200 miles •Owner willing to pay for quicker completion•Sufficient flat space for formwork•Sufficient crane accessDecision Tool ExampleAn owner wants to build….•30 foot tall building•Nearest precast plant 50 miles •Nearest masonry plant 200 miles •Owner willing to pay for quicker completion•Sufficient flat space for formwork•Sufficient crane accessDecision Tool ExampleAn owner wants to build….•30 foot tall building•Nearest precast plant 50 miles •Nearest masonry plant 200 miles •Owner willing to pay for quicker completion•Sufficient flat space for formwork•Sufficient crane accessDecision Tool ExampleAn owner wants to build….•30 foot tall building•Nearest precast plant 50 miles •Nearest masonry plant 200 miles •Owner willing to pay for quicker completion•Sufficient flat space for formwork•Sufficient crane accessDecision Tool ExampleAn owner wants to build….•30 foot tall building•Nearest precast plant 50 miles •Nearest masonry plant 200 miles •Owner willing to pay for quicker completion•Sufficient flat space for formwork•Sufficient crane accessDecision Tool ExampleThe most efficient wall system is Factory-Cast Tilt-Up Panels!Research Results•Most significant components of total cost:•Material delivery•Regional variations in labor wages•Cost of steel reinforcement varies little among the four wall systemsFuture WorkContinuing Research•Greater detail in cost inputs•Fully automated tool•Interaction with professionalsProject Recommendations•Works well as a senior level design project •Project is better as a team project •Scope and direction of the projectSummary•Purpose – develop a decision tool to find most cost-efficient concrete wall system•Results – flow chart to aid designersOptimizing “Big Box”
