In a tilt-up wall building, the wall panels are precast on a concrete slab-on-ground, which is the first floor slab of the building. In some buildings, the first floor of the building is not a concrete slab-on-ground but an elevated slab. Explain how the tilt-up walls are cast in this type of building.

What will be an ideal response?


The walls are cast on a casting bed of concrete slab-on-ground, specially constructed for casting the panels. After
all wall panels are erected in their intended locations, the casting bed is broken, and the broken concrete recycled at
the site or sent away for other uses.
