WAFFLE-CRETE STRUCTURAL PRECAST CONCRETE BUILDING SYSTEMS NOTICE Design Information for WAFFLE-CRETE panels has been prepared by WAFFLE-CRETE International, Inc. to provide fabricators, designers, and contractors with suggested uses and practical applications of the WAFFLE-CRETE panels in building construction. The structural capacities and characteristics described herein are to be used as guidelines only. The included information is not to be considered as a final structural design. WAFFLE-CRETE International, Inc. recommends that a qualified structural engineer evaluate each application of WAFFLE-CRETE panels. The engineer shall be directed to determine the actual loads and limitations of the panels under each specific application. Materials, codes and manufacturing methods peculiar to the particular operation and market area shall be considered. WAFFLE-CRETE molds are covered by: U.S. PATENT NO. 5,667,192; CANADA PATENT NO. 1,109,653; JAPAN PATENT NO. 1,364,341.

MATERIALS Material properties and criteria used in the design information contained herein are as follows: A. Normal Weight Precast Concrete (145-150#/cubic foot) 1. 28 day compressive strength f c = 5000 psi (34,416 KN/m 2 ) or 4000 psi (27,533 KN/m 2 ) 2. Maximum shear strength v c =.75 (2) f c 3. Modulus of elasticity e = w (1.5) 33 f c B. Reinforcing Steel 1. Deformed Billet Steel Bars, ASTM A-615, Grade 60 fy = 60 ksi (412,992 KN/m 2 ) or 40 ksi (275,328 KN/m 2 ) 2. Welded wire fabric, ASTM A-185 fy = 60 ksi (412,992 KN/m 2 ) or 40 ksi (275,328 KN/m 2 ) DESIGN A. Code 1. Uniform Building Code, 1991 Edition 2. American Concrete Institute Building Code 318-89 B. Spans 1. The spans are in 2 and 4 foot intervals to best utilize the WAFFLE-CRETE form dimensions. Lengths other than those shown may be obtained through the use of headers in the forms during fabrications. 2. Panels were designed in accordance with ultimate strength design methods for maximum allowable stresses. 3. All panels are designed for yield of reinforcing steel prior to concrete failure. C. Loading 1. Panel loading was calculated with dead load and superimposed loads. The dead load included only the panel weight. All superimposed weight, such as partitions, toppings, and live loads shall be considered superimposed loads. 2. Design loading was calculated in conformance with ACI 318-89 Ultimate strength load factors as follows: U = 1.4D + 1.7L D = dead load or L= live load U =.75 (1.4D + 1.7L + 1.7 W) W = wind load D. Deflections 1. Live load deflections were calculated by: = 5WL 4 384 El W = uniform live load L = span length E = modulus of elasticity I = effective moment of inertia 2. Deflections shown are elastic short duration only. Upper limit of span lengths do not consider deflection limits for varying applications. General deflection limits are L/240 for roofs and L/360 for floors. E. Transportation and Erection 1. Handling designs assumes Swift Lift anchors cast in the top edge of walls and top of floors. 2. Panels 16 feet and longer require two Swift Lifts for walls and four for floors to be located in top surface of panel in ribs 4 feet from each end. -1-

Design assumes fy = 275,328 KN/m 2 for all reinforcing. Area of reinforcing may be approximated at.67 times that shown if fy = 412,992 KN/m 2 (grade 60 steel). 2. All panel designs require 6x6 W2.9xW2.9 welded wire fabric at middle of skin, and 12 mm bar at bottom of each horizontal rib. 3. Allowable axial load assumes concentric loading with maximum 2.2 cm inch eccentricity from centroid of panel. 4. Design information in these charts was derived utilizing ACI-SP17-2.2 and 8.1. -9-
