This course is intended to present a comparison of engineering analysis approaches to the design of building structures for Insulated Concrete Forms. The course covers the Prescriptive Method (developed by HUD through PCA) and the two appropriate sections of the 2011 ACI code for walls. A simple, 2-story house with a basement is used as an example to demonstrate the application of both of these methods for a 6 inch thick waffle-slab and a flat panel ICF wall.

Course Objectives

At the end of this course, you will be able to: 

  • Recognize the limitations of the Prescriptive Method and the ACI code for design of ICF wall structural systems
  • Identify the different types of ICF wall systems
  • Recognize the allowable capacity of an ICF wall system
  • Define the deflection and reinforcement for an ICF wall system
