Advantages of Crosswall Construction:-
Load bearing and non-load bearing components can be
standardised and in same cases prefabricated giving faster
construction times.
Fenestration between crosswalls unrestricted structurally.
Crosswalls although load bearing need not be weather
resistant as is the case with external walls.
Disadvantages of Crosswall Construction:-
Limitations of possible plans.
Need for adequate lateral ties between crosswalls.
Need to weather adequately projecting crosswalls.
Floors:-
An in-situ solid reinforced concrete floor will provide the greatest
rigidity, all other form must be adequately tied to walls.
