Reinforcing Concrete Design in Architecture\Winter 1997 (Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute)

TILT-UP GUIDELINES
• All tilt-up and foundation steel shop drawings should be dimensioned to the inside face of tilt-up walls.
• Pay close attention to forming details required for various rustications, exposed aggregates and openings for constructability and ease of stripping.
• Always inspect reinforcement placement in tilt-up panel before pouring concrete.
• For surfaces to be painted, wait 30 days after erection to clean panels of form release agents, oils, dust or mold. Wait 30 more days after cleaning for excess water to evaporate from the panel. Apply a primer coat and then a finish topcoat of 100% acrylic latex.

GOODWILL RECYCLES BUILDINGS
To reduce landfill as required by the city, concrete and reinforcing steel from the original buildings was reused in the new Goodwill Industries Headquarters building. The recycled concrete was used as compacted fill for the new building's foundation and parking areas. Rebar was extracted magnetically as scrap steel for recycling, then reheated and reformed.
