Insulated concrete forms (ICF’s) are becoming more and more common. Instead of using temporary forms like lumber to hold poured concrete in place until it has cured, an ICF is essentially a rigid Styrofoam container for a poured wall that is left in place permanently, providing an additional layer of insulation. See the basic layout of an ICF system in Figure 2. The form needs to provide adequate strength to contain the wet concrete (SG=2.4) until it cures. A leak or blowout at the bottom of the form would have a catastrophic effect on construction andsafety. a. What is the maximum pressure that the form needs to withstand if the wall is to be 114 mmthick, 10.67 m wide, and 4.27 m tall? b. What force does the ICF experience? What is the location of that force on the ICFformwork?

A large slab of concrete (stone 1-2-4 mix) 40 cm in thickness initially has a uniform temperature of 30°C. One surface (x = 0.0 m) is insulated and the surface temperature of the other side (x = 0.4 m) is suddenly changed to 20°C. How many hours will it take for the temperature of the concrete at x = 0.0 m to be 25°C? The thermal properties of the concrete are as follows: k = 1.37 W/m °C a = 7.5x 10-m² /s %3D
