Description

This webinar presents information and tools structural engineers can use to select and design Insulating Concrete Forms (ICFs). ICFs combine the strength and durability of reinforced concrete with the energy efficiency of rigid insulation, providing an ideal solution for multi-family, commercial and institutional applications. The webinar will explore the evolution of ICFs and their growth from single family in the late early 1990s to a mainstream structural system for single story retail to high-rise residential. The presentation will discuss preliminary wall sizing and placement along with structural design considerations including design details and construction inspections. With a competitive first cost, ICFs improves occupant safety, fire resistance and noise transmission for office, hospital, school and retail buildings, among others. The presentation will also provide guidance on how to minimize the cost of ICF construction to take full advantage of these benefits, resulting in long-term value for building owners.

Course will award 1.5 hours of continuing education
This course is Diamond Review approved in 49 states. New York does not accept hours from recordings
