This brought back flash­backs of when I used to attempt to inter­lock cor­ners think­ing the strength of the inter­lock was going to hold things togeth­er dur­ing con­crete place­ment.

This design is now the new pro­to­type for future Clarksville-Mont­gomery Coun­ty ele­men­tary schools.

Research by Texas Tech Wind Sci­ence and Engi­neer­ing Research Cen­ter has demon­strat­ed that ICF walls bet­ter pro­tect occu­pants of hous­es from wind­blown debris, than frame walls. Being hit by wind­blown debris is the most com­mon cause of injury dur­ing tor­na­does.

Build­ing a home involves care­ful plan­ning and metic­u­lous con­struc­tion. The mate­ri­als used can dra­mat­i­cal­ly impact the dura­bil­i­ty, aes­thet­ics, and com­fort of the home. This arti­cle will explore the sev­en most durable build­ing mate­ri­als for res­i­den­tial con­struc­tion, and pro­vide insights into the strongest mate­r­i­al for build­ing a house and the longest-last­ing build­ing mate­ri­als avail­able today​.
