It seems to me that we’re all making the same claim. Before grabbing the wall saw, we must know the location, orientation, and sizes of all reinforcing members inside the tilt-up or cast-in-place wall. The structural engineer would need to agree that the structure would not fail. Forgive my ignorance for claiming that a 8’-10’ high, 8” thick, long slab of concrete and steel could be monolithic. I am a product of the Florida Education System; somewhere the system failed me.
