 ===== PANEL DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION =====
@@ Line 181: / Line 189: @@
 <fs medium>With the fabric formwork modeling techniques defined, the four step procedure outlined above may now be used to design a fabric formed concrete panel.  A first step in obtaining an optimum panel design requires that the load paths to the boundary supports be determined – a result of the lateral loads.  The anchors are then placed at these locations anchoring the panel to the backup framing system.  If, for architectural reasons, the panel is to be configured with predetermined load paths and anchor locations, this step could be omitted.</fs>

@@ Line 320: / Line 321: @@
 <fs medium>The results of a plain concrete analysis for the panel under consideration show that a minimum panel thickness of 3½-inches is adequate.  Figure 21 shows one possible reinforcement arrangement should some or all the variables noted above be exhausted and the only way to achieve an adequate panel design is to reinforce it.  The reinforcement is placed where the principal tensile stresses are greatest.</fs>

 <fs medium>The author wishes to express his sincere appreciation to Professor Peter Huttelmaier, Ph.D. who served as Capstone Project advisor during graduate studies at the Milwaukee School of Engineering and offered insightful and constructive comments during the preparation of this manuscript.  In addition, special thanks go to Professor Mark West, Director of the C.A.S.T. at the University of Manitoba, whose work on fabric-cast concrete wall panels provided the inspiration for this project.  The author also wishes to thank Geri Schmitz and Gary Shimek, MLIS for their efforts in proofing this manuscript.</fs>
