Re: HIGH CLEAR HEIGHT CONCRETE WALLS

I have successfuly gone 65 ft with tilt-up, and 73 feet in single lift
pours. In the latter case, used self-consolidating concrete (no way to
vibrate internally that far down, and external vibrators rejected due
to the sketchy conditions with the bracing shaking loose) and did a lot
of set time testing to control the form pressures.........

It's not planned for one pour.

I figure
rectangular but round is easier to brace.

Shipping on
precast this long would be an issue and I don't see it practical to
create
continuity in precast if using stacked modules. I am concerned with the
cost of
bracing the high poured walls during construction as they are being
built and
figuring this cost into a preliminary cost estimate.
