reinforcement - concrete wall (with cremation niches) 1

[n3jc]

I have to draw reinforcement. I havent seen this one before. Any suggestion about reinforcment details since it depends on work sequance (formwork and casting of concrete in phases)in my opinion?

I'd be reinforcing the vertical thick bits from section 2-2 as columns/pilasters, and then the rest of it as walls/slabs.Seems simplest to me.

edit: I'd do so because that's how I would analyze it as well.

Reinforcing details aside.....this project screams for precast rather than cast in place

What Motorcity says... It’s really a dead issue here.

Yes I agree, but it's not up to me to decide. They want cast in place.

1st photo I posted is cast in place, 2nd one is precast as far as I can see.

What if you had them pour the flat retaining wall in one go, full height. Then come back, strip forms and form up all the pockets afterwards. It'd be tough to keep all the void forms from floating up though. And a pain in the butt to strip the pockets after. They could precast the modules on site and just stack them up if you made the retaining wall totally separate from the modules, and not really have to worry about the detailing in the modules?
