We order our concrete from the batch plant as follows: Grout Mix - 3000 psi, aggregate less than 3/8” (pea gravel preferred), 8” to 10” slump (viscosity - the higher the number, the more fluid). Flow enhancers are encouraged. Note: the slump is likely to change from arrival of the concrete to the end the of the pour, add water from the concrete truck as necessary.
They are invisible. Sometimes in a high wind situation, they may brace outside to prevent the wind from blowing the wall over. Despite the somewhat misleading title, these are not ICF walls. These are insulated composite concrete forms. Amazingly people who put out these videos incorrectly say ICF stands for insulated concrete forms. It really is Insulated Composit Forms.
@@ArnieD17 I don't follow the difference between concrete and composite. A composite is just a collection of different things or elements or materials. It seems intuitive that you have concrete (grout) surrounded by rigid foam (an insulator) and it is a form for the concrete to cure within.
Wow, very impressive system, R-Factor must be in the '30s, Awesome!
I noticed the corners have some type of whaler, and additional spray foam.
What kind of grout is this?

How u calculate de amount of concret to fill the blocks
@@theperfectblockiccf ok please explain. Is it for tall walls like warehouse with no load bearing apart from roof steel or wood.
👍👍👍👍👍
Where is the bracing!
