slab-tilt wall
construction
Quick Summary
Tilt-up construction is a method for building concrete walls. In this technique, concrete slabs are initially cast in a horizontal position. Once hardened, these slabs are then tilted up to form the vertical walls of a structure. This approach is distinct from lift-slab construction, where floor slabs are poured on the ground and then hydraulically lifted into place. Slabs themselves are flat, monolithic pieces of concrete used for floors or roofs in architecture.123
