A Better Approach to Fire Safety with Concrete Building Design
Non-combustible, insulated concrete form (ICF) construction is a better approach to fire safety over wood construction.
How to Layout Scaffold on Fox Blocks' Insulated Concrete Form Walls
When you’re building with insulated concrete forms, chances are you’re going to need to set up scaffolding.
Designing a Modern Home with Insulated Concrete Form Construction
Is there a problem when placing concrete, dropping concrete from the top of the wall which may be over 8' (2.4 m)?
No. Specifications in the America Concrete Institute (ACI) do not limit the maximum distance concrete can free fall. Engineering studies and reports have shown that free fall from up to 35′ doesn’t reduce concrete quality and there is no evidence of segregation or weakened concrete strength. ICF concrete design calls for a high slump mix which assists in reducing segregation.
