Columns
Columns with Standard Panels
and Outside Corners:
Columns can also be formed
using standard panels and outside
corners. To form columns with
sizes in between the MevaLite
panel widths, the next largest
panel size is used and the forms
are furred out on the inside.
Columns can only be formed with
panels oriented vertically (panel
cross members horizontal).
The outside corner connections
require more assembly locks than
standard panel connections. The
connection requirements and
maximum allowable concrete
pressure depend on the column
size (with rectangular columns
the longer side controls) - see
Figures29.1 -29.3.
*For columns >30" to ≤36"
1350psf may be achieved with the
addition of reinforcing rails.
Refer to MEVA engineering for
guidance.
