How to Use This Calculator

Enter panel height, width (ft), and overall thickness in inches — include insulation layer if it is a sandwich panel.
Set concrete unit weight in pcf: 150 for normal weight, ~115 for lightweight.
Enter reveal depth and coverage percentage if the panel has architectural reveals.
Enter insulation thickness in inches for sandwich panels (0 for solid panels).
Enter window or door opening area in sq ft to deduct from the weight calculation.
Read Total Panel Weight (lbs) and Stripping Force (1.5x) to size lifting inserts and select the correct crane.

How the result changes with Panel height

Panel height: Panel height (floor-to-floor or full story).
Panel width: Panel width (typical 8-30 ft).
Panel thickness: Overall panel thickness including any insulation.
Concrete unit weight: Normal weight ~150, lightweight ~115 pcf.
Reveal depth: Depth of architectural reveals.
Reveal coverage: Percentage of panel face with reveals.
Insulation thickness: Insulation layer thickness for sandwich panels (0 = solid).
Window/door openings: Total area of openings cut from the panel.

Total panel weight: Total weight including concrete, reinforcement, and insulation.
Weight per sq ft: Weight per square foot of gross panel face area.
Weight per lin ft: Weight per linear foot of panel height (for lateral loads).
Concrete volume: Net concrete volume.
Concrete volume: Net concrete volume in cubic yards.
Gross panel area: Total panel face area before openings.
Net panel area: Panel area minus openings.
Stripping force (1.5x): Required stripping force with 1.5x safety factor.
Estimated R-value: Approximate thermal resistance (sandwich panels benefit most).
