I am curious: the prefered method seems to call for a maximum depth or wall thickness of 12 inches. Is this fixed, or can any reasonable thickness be used?
top We used 300mm (12 “) for the main body of the walls. We used 400mm (16”) for the gables which are around 4m high. In retrospect the gables are WAY overkill, but it was in the plans so… I guess it depends on the formwork. I know of people who have made 250mm walls with no problem, the deciding factor is how much weight the walls are going to bear.
