Abstract
Considers the different systems available and the types of structures that ICF can be used for. Covers the general design considerations and the structural regulations, codes and standards. Refers to requirements for sound insulation and noise, thermal insulation, and fire performance, and desirable performance for flood resilience, environmental sustainability, security and durability, and shows how ICF can meet these requirements. Details the design of unreinforced and reinforced ICF walls to Eurocode 2 and BS 8110. Addresses construction methods and workmanship.

Publisher History
The Concrete Centre is the central development organisation for the UK concrete sector and provides material, design and construction guidance. Their aim is to enable all those involved in the design, use and performance of concrete to realise the potential of the material. Funded by 15 major cement and concrete organisations, the Concrete Centre works alongside the British Cement Association, The Concrete Society, and the ready mix and precast concrete industries to ensure an integrated approach from the concrete sector to technical support, research, education, training and information services. The Reinforced Concrete Council and the Ready Mixed Concrete Bureau are now part of The Concrete Centre.
