Tilt Panel Wall with Varying thickness
Tilt Panel Wall with Varying thickness
(OP)
Can a tilt panel wall have a varying thickness? I have a girder beam bearing on a tilt panel. The rest of the panel is 7-1/4" thick but at the gider beam I need it to be 9-1/4" thick. Can the panel be formed on the field or will it be difficult for the contractor?

One idea would be to have two construction joints on either side of the pilaster - letting the pilaster be an infill cast-in-place section that is constructed after the two adjacent panels (which would be flat) are erected. If this detail/condition is prevalent throughout the project, then all the special forming and placement might be worse than a series of cast-in pilasters.

Its not uncommon here in Australia to get a response like Hokkie66.
