Bearing Wall Design of Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) Based on ACI 318-19 & 2021 IBC
DESIGN CRITERIA
1. Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) can be waffle grid core, and screen grid core, and/or even flat wall core. This design method is
based on linear distribution of strain, which only consider the concrete strength of screen grid core conservatively.
2. Since it is difficult to design ICF wall tension-controlled (ACI 318-19 11.8.1.1) only, this software does NOT use the method of
Alternative Design of Slender Walls (ACI 318-19 11.8), so no P- D effects have to be applied (ACI 318-19 11.8.1.1).
