shuttered walls

[Pan mixer]

I'm thinking about making a shuttered wall along one end of a shed to hold grain, I would like to know how wide to space the reinforcing bars please? I see some people using mesh, I was thinking of just using rebars horizontally the same as if it was concrete panels

Thanks in advance for any advice

I am no structural engineer but I put mesh in as well as 5 horizontals and several verticals in a grain retaining wall.

The one I posted early in this thread is cattle retaining, 10 inches thick.

Sorry, small picture but it is a grain wall that I did a while ago - end of the shed so it has to be loader proof as well.

thanks, 5 horizontals per 4 foot vertical?

No 8 foot vertical, put in where they won't interfere with your cross bolts (that hold the shutters together, wall needs to be stronger at the top than the bottom don't forget.

A wall we did for our slurry pit. 14 strands of rebar with a sheet and half of mesh on each side.

Suppose it's because we have the shuttering that bolts against the posts, we can pour just one section at a time inbetween farm jobs and it's the way the boss has done all his walls. Could also be that the pit is dug into running sand and back filled.

4 metres

you have 2 16mm bars every 300mm horizontally?

or you have 16 mm bars sticking out of the slab every 300mm?

Out of slab

Roughly how much does a tank like these cost to then put a building etc over the top. approximately 10ft deep 30ft wide 60ft long?
what thickness do you go 6" slab 10" sides? would you create a bigger square box where a column is going to be?

You will buy concrete panels for less than 50 per m2

yes for 4" roughly 23-25/m2

yes for 4" roughly 23-25/m2

For 100mm ones I assume

4" <<were splitting hairs haha
