Tee-Shaped BauCages made of BauGrid®Tees for a 42-story
building with 61 cm
(24”) thick shearwalls
A 42-story building in San
Francisco has more than 500 tons of 2.4m x 2.4m (8'x8') L-shaped and T-shaped
BauGrids® specified in 61 cm (24") thick concrete
elevator-core boundary shearwalls.The
contractor, Webcor, reports labor saving in assembly and installation similar
to those reported by the contractor in San Diego.The BauGrids® with 16mm
(5/8") diameter welded rods are shipped very efficiently on pallets to
the BauCage assembly plant.There,
BauCages are rapidly assembled with very few workers, because one BauGrid®
can replace up to 32 separate pieces of conventional reinforcement.
