About this document
Spandrel Beam Design Insights by Daniel Larrínaga is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This research project investigated the behavior and design of precast spandrel beams commonly used in parking structures. The research included a review of design practices, finite element models, and full-scale load tests of two L-beams and one pocket spandrel. Key findings included that a critical section for shear and torsion should be considered at the face of beam supports, and that connections to deck elements do not substantially reduce torsion. The research also verified shear and torsion design pro
