4" Concrete Wall 1

[bookowski]

This is an exterior wall, a fence really. The architect wants 4" concrete. It's about 6ft tall, cantilevered. Based on strength this easily works (assuming proper footing, steel etc. etc.) This is obviously very tight - exterior so 1.5" cover both sides eats up 3". I'm thinking I'll use #3 bars, 1 curtain each way, and up the spacing as necessary to give myself all the room possible. Any issue with this (assuming the contractor is competent).
