No, these insu­la­tion prod­ucts are quite dif­fer­ent. EPS is closed cell expand­ed poly­styrene, while XPS is a closed cell extrud­ed poly­styrene. The prop­er­ties, appli­ca­tions and costs of each are quite dif­fer­ent. The major­i­ty of ICFs are man­u­fac­tured with EPS.

The con­crete is nor­mal strength, min­i­mum 2500 psi (20 MPa) per build­ing codes. The mix design spec­i­fies a small­er aggre­gate and high­er slump than con­crete typ­i­cal­ly used for floors. Most Ready-Mix sup­pli­ers are famil­iar with an ICF con­crete mix design.

Trag­i­cal­ly, between 2000 and 2017 there were 894 wind and 1417 tor­na­do-relat­ed deaths. In 2017, 36 per­cent of the wind and 63 per­cent of the tor­na­do-relat­ed fatal­i­ties hap­pened either in a mobile or per­ma­nent home. A wind-resis­tant design is crit­i­cal to a home­’s integri­ty and a family’s safe­ty.

Net-Zero Muse­um Exem­pli­fies The Sus­tain­able Resilience of the MHA Nation. The MHA Inter­pre­tive Cen­ter is an edu­ca­tion­al muse­um and nature cen­ter owned and gov­erned by the Man­dan Hidat­sa Arikara Nation. Hous­ing some of the most sacred objects and arti­facts of the MHA Nation, the struc­ture includes a large, 80-foot radius wall with an obser­va­tion deck over­look­ing Lake Sakakawea, which was built to align with the Nation’s val­ues and embrace sus­tain­abil­i­ty and respect to the earth.

Old Town Scotts­dale is a his­toric down­town area, once known for cowboy-Western shops and art gal­leries, that is now expe­ri­enc­ing a remod­ern­iza­tion and revi­tal­iza­tion. In a class of its own, this mul­ti­mil­lion-dol­lar, mod­ern two-home mas­ter­piece com­ple­ments the near­by down­town and arts dis­trict. These lux­u­ry walk-ups pay homage to ear­ly urban Mediter­ranean archi­tec­ture with all the sophis­ti­ca­tion of the 21^st cen­tu­ry.

As I try to break into…..or attempt to uti­lize or at least sign up…….on some of the new social media or medi­ums that con­tin­ue to grow in pop­u­lar­i­ty, I real­ize that I must be old! Very, very old! I thought that my col­league out west ​“Mr. Siz­zle” was about my age, but he is def­i­nite­ly young when it comes to all of these tech­nolo­gies!

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.

Fox Blocks Vice Pres­i­dent Mike Ken­naw and East Coast Sales Man­ag­er Bri­an Med­ford par­tic­i­pat­ed in the 3^rd Annu­al Fed­er­al Asset Man­age­ment Pol­i­cy Forum and Expo in the Wash­ing­ton, D.C. area the week of Octo­ber 17, 2016.

Donat­ed con­crete will strength­en afford­able hous­ing, mak­ing it more resilient and sus­tain­able.
