CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Agreement Amendment with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for Police Department Body Worn Camera Licenses
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Christine Booker, Budgets & Grants Analyst REVIEWED BY: Chris Karrer, Police Chief
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute Amendment No. 6 to the Master Services and Purchasing Agreement with Axon Enterprise, Inc. in an amount not-to-exceed $5,479 for Axon devices and services for Fiscal Years 2023/2024 and 2024/2025; and
2. Approve and authorize this purchase utilizing NPPGov, Contract No. PS20270, pursuant to Menifee Municipal Code Section 3.12.070 (6); and
3. Authorize the City Manager to execute the required documents and the Finance Department to issue a corresponding purchase order(s) for the purchase(s), and contract(s) and/or amendments.
DISCUSSION
As the City of Menifee grows, Menifee Police Department strives to utilize technology to create a transparent and safe environment for staff and the public. Amendment No. 6 to the existing master services agreement includes the purchase of five new license bundles to outfit the staff allocated to the department. The term length would not be impacted by this Amendment.
Pursuant to Menifee Municipal Code Chapter 3.12.090, any change order in an amount greater than $25,000 or any change order which, when considered with the aggregate amount of all other changes to a contract, exceeds ten percent of the original contract cost, shall be approved by the City Council. All other terms of the agreement shall remain the same. The previous amendments are expressed on the following page in Table 1.

The prices offered by the NPPGov are a result of a competitive bid process completed by another government agency. The vendor selected from that competitive process is awarded a main contract from which other agencies can “piggyback” or obtain the same pricing/options. As allowed under the Menifee Municipal Code Section
3.12.070(6), the City can utilize a cooperative purchasing agreement in the procurement of equipment and supplies. This is advantageous to the City as it provides notable reduced pricing, as well as reduced administrative time and costs.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Quitclaim Deeds to Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District for Storm Drainage Easements
Associated with Romoland Master Drainage Plan Line A-3, Stages 4 and 5
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Chet Robinson, Principal Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager, or designee, to execute Quitclaim Deeds for storm drain easements to Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District for Romoland Master Drainage Plan, Line A-3, Stages 4 and 5, for the segment of Line A-3, located parallel to Varela Lane, between Malone Avenue and Palomar Road.
DISCUSSION
The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (“District”) is currently in the final stages of design for a project to construct, and operate flood control facilities that are part of the Romoland Master Drainage Plan (MDP) - Line A. The proposed facilities would provide flood protection for residents, business owners, and future development in the Romoland area and reduce the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain limits along the vicinity of main Line A. The District is currently nearing completion of design for a segment of the facilities known as Line A-3, Stages 4 and 5 (“Project”) that are planned for construction within the City of Menifee. This Project is a planned open channel flow conveyance reducing the potential for local flooding in the area and is generally parallel to Varela Lane, between Malone Avenue and Palomar Road, as depicted in the attached Project Location Map.
On January 17, 2024, the City Council approved and authorized the City Manager to enter into a cooperative agreement with the District for the construction, ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Project. With the District nearing Project design completion, segments of City storm drain right-of-way (ROW) must now be quitclaimed to the District to allow for construction to occur and to provide the District access for ongoing future maintenance of the storm drain facilities. There are several previously recorded documents which dedicated ROW on private Item Title: 10.13

property to the County of Riverside (“County”) for storm drain purposes prior to the City’s incorporation. As the County’s successor to these dedications, the City must now transfer these ROW locations to the District to allow the District to construct the Project.
The proposed quitclaim documents apply to irrevocable offers of dedication that were accepted by the County on behalf of the District for MDP Line A-3, stages 4 and 5. The previously recorded documents to be quitclaimed for the Project include:
1. Document No. 2007-0269612 recorded April 20, 2007, in its entirety
2. Document No. 2007-0055216 recorded January 24, 2007, in its entirety
3. A Portion of ROW included in Document No. 2006-0445942 recorded June 21, 2006
4. A Portion of ROW included in Document No. 2007-0202655 recorded March 26, 2007 The completion of these flood control facilities requires that City Council action be taken to convey the necessary ROW to the District for the channel construction. The District has requested that the City convey the ROW for these drainage facilities by means of the attached quitclaim deeds.
If approved, two of the proposed quitclaim deeds would transfer the entirety of their associated ROW to the County. The third proposed quitclaim deed would transfer portions of item Nos. 3 and 4 referenced above in addition to a drainage ROW segment at Cumming Avenue as shown on the attached Legal and Plat to the quitclaim deed. Upon City Council approval, the attached quitclaim deeds would be executed and forwarded to the County for acceptance and recordation.
It is important to note that approval of the attached quitclaims would not eliminate, or reduce, current City street ROW.
STRATEGIC PLAN OBJECTIVE
Safe and Vibrant Community
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with approval of this item. The District would construct Line A-3 in accordance with the Romoland MDP at their own cost. Upon completion of the Project, the District and the City would share responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the drainage facilities as identified in the Cooperative Agreement previously approved by City Council. Costs associated with the maintenance of designated City facilities would be established in future fiscal year operating budgets.

This District-led project will follow the
construction of Stages 2 and 3. Stages 4
and 5 will complete the Line A-3 storm drain
system east along Varela Lane from Palomar
Road to Malone Avenue. The project will
collect water north of Varela Lane and
convey it west along Varela Lane in an open
channel from the upstream end of Malone
Ave to Menifee Road. Water is conveyed in
an underground storm drain across Menifee
Road to the downstream connection with
Stage 3 on Palomar Road. The total length of
these two stages is approximately 6,510
lineal feet of underground reinforced
concrete box/pipe and open channel. Once
the entire Line A-3 is completed, the system
will help protect properties located along
Varela Lane and east of Palomar Road.

CITY OF MENIFEE
SUBJECT: Public Improvement Agreement and Bonds for Tract Map No. 37358, Pacific Parkview, by Cal-Equity, LP
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2024
TO: Mayor and City Council
PREPARED BY: Chet Robinson, Principal Engineer
REVIEWED BY: Nick Fidler, Public Works Director
APPROVED BY: Armando G. Villa, City Manager
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Public Improvement Agreement to guarantee the completion of required public improvements within the City of Menifee associated with Tract Map No. 37358, located north of Mapes Road and west of Antelope Road in unincorporated Riverside County.
DISCUSSION
Tract Map 37358 (TM37358), also known as Pacific Parkview (“Project”), is a residential development located within the unincorporated area of the Riverside County that borders the city limits of Menifee. The Project consists of the development of 156 lots for residential homes and is conditioned to construct improvements to the Project frontage along Mapes Road and Antelope Road. While the residential development falls outside the City limits, the offsite improvements on Mapes Road extend into the City limits. As such, the Project has been conditioned by the City to enter into a public improvement agreement and provide street and drainage securities to ensure the Project improvements occurring within the City are constructed in a timely manner and meet the City’s roadway construction standards.
Cal-Equity, LP, a California Limited Partnership and a subsidiary of Pacific Communities (“Developer”), is now requesting approval of the Public Improvement Agreement (“PIA”) as required by the Project’s conditions of approval. The PIA requires that improvement securities are posted to guarantee the completion of the required improvements within 24 months from the City Council approval date of the agreement.
Staff has reviewed the Developer’s request and determined that the PIA meets the requirements of the City for work within the City’s right-of-way. A summary of the bonds being posted to guarantee the required improvements is shown in Table1 on the following page.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Adopt a resolution finding and declaring conditions present at Krikorian Entertainment Complex Property, located at 27387, 27459, and 27483 Newport Road, to be a public nuisance and ordering the abatement thereof.
DISCUSSION
The Krikorian Entertainment Complex is located at 27387, 27459, and 27483 Newport Road (“Property”). The site consists of three partially completed commercial structures – one retail framed shell building, one burned retail building with only remaining foundation/posts, and one partially constructed movie theatre building. The City has been involved with Code Enforcement issues relating to the Property since September 1, 2021, when the Property was found to be in non-compliance for lack of development standards, graffiti, and overgrown vegetation. On June 2, 2023, all City issued permits for the Property were deemed expired for lack of on-going construction progress. On October 12, 2023, City Code Enforcement inspected the Property and issued Showprop Menifee De, LLC (“Owner”) a Notice of Intent to Abate Public Nuisance (“Notice”) relating to 27387 Newport Road (theatre building). The Owner appealed said Notice.
On November 29, 2023, City Code Enforcement inspected the Property and issued the Owner a Notice relating to 27459 and 27483 Newport Road (other retail building/foundation). The Owner did not appeal said Notice and the time to perfect the appeal has elapsed. On February 12, 2024, an Administrative Hearing took place on the Owner’s appeal of the Notice relating to 27387 Newport Road (theatre building) and on February 26, 2024, the hearing officer denied the Owner’s appeal and upheld the Notice.
Due to the public nuisance and the length of time that the existing construction has been exposed to the elements, on April 25, 2024, a comprehensive inspection of the Property (pursuant to an approved Inspection Warrant issued by the Court on April 17, 2024) was performed by a team of Item Title: 11.1

Structural Engineers, City Fire Inspectors, and other construction specialists to fully assess the fire, life safety, environmental and health hazards at the Property. The inspection was necessary in order to determine the extent and scope of the substandard conditions on the Property and what further enforcement action it should take to ensure the safety of community. The findings in the report reveal that a number of substandard conditions require attention with respect to the theater structures, including each of the following: (1) Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) Blocks have been exposed to the elements for four years, which exceeds the manufacturer’s specifications of three months and which therefore triggers a recertification requirement for those blocks that have yet to be installed to determine compliance with the applicable regulations that establish the standard for minimum levels of plumbness and tolerances for structural concrete; (2) exposed steel, anchor bolts, and embedment plates require third-party recertification to ensure that tolerances are still within design compliance; (3) poured in place beams indicated a “cold joint” triggering the requirement for testing and recertification for structural integrity and design loads; (4) holding water observed in auditorium one and three which triggers the requirement for additional testing for slab absorption and concrete design; (5) temporary wall bracing requires testing for lateral strength; and (6) ICF blocks located above the second lift must be removed for inspection purposes to verify adequate structural integrity of existing vertical rebar along with plumbness consistent with applicable regulations.
With respect to the conditions of the remaining property, the report found as follows: (1) for Pad three, the floor plate may need to be replaced, and the Oriented Strand Board (OSB) Sheathing requires replacement, in addition to the requirement to recertify all glulam/engineered wood products on those remaining structures; and (2) for Pad four, the concrete curb anchor bolts/hardware will need to be replaced and the epoxy will require third party inspection, in addition to an inspection of the steel columns and the saddles connected at the top, which indicate “twisting”, and therefore necessitates a determination as to whether these columns still comply with the required design tolerances.
The conditions set forth above constitute public nuisances under each of the City’s regulations:
Menifee Municipal Code section 11.20.020(2)(a-j), (4), (5), (7), (8), (13), (14), (27), (34), (39), (40 (a, c).
Based on the results of the comprehensive inspection, the lack of progress by the property owner to both adequately secure the site and ensure public safety and address the substandard conditions on the property, and in conformance with Menifee Municipal Code Section 11.20.130, staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution that both declares the property a public nuisance and orders the owner to – within 30 days -- abate the nuisance conditions by (1) demolishing all remaining structures on the property (including foundation, etc.); (2) removing all debris and building materials, supplies, and equipment from the property; and (3) properly securing the property to ensure that unauthorized individuals cannot enter.
Under applicable law, upon the adoption of the resolution declaring the property a public nuisance, the property owner will be provided notice of the City Council’s action and additional time to remedy the violations, as set forth in the attached resolution. If the owner fails to take the required abatement action, the City will acquire jurisdiction to enter the property and abate the nuisance violations using its own forces or a contractor. To this end, staff is recommending that the City Item Title: 11.1

4LEAF, Inc. performed a Property Condition Assessment for 24730 Newport Road Menifee Ca Krikorian Theater, Pad 3 and 4, Property Condition Assessment consists of the scope of work defined by ASTM E2018 Standard Guide for Property Condition Assessments and in compliance with the 2022 California Building Code (CBC), 2022 California Mechanical Code (CMC), 2022 California Plumbing Code (CPC), 2022 California Electrical Code (CEC), 2022 California Energy Code (CEnC) (2022 Building Energy Efficiency Standards), 2022 California Green Building Standards Code (CALGreen), and the City of Menifee Municipal Code. 4LEAF’s team will provide information on the site conditions and construction as it currently site in relation to site safety, fire, life safety and identify conspicuous and material defects, deficiencies, items of deferred maintenance and material building code violations (individually and collectively, physical deficiencies), site construction as a result of a non-intrusive walk- around visual survey, review of available applicable documents and research. Please note that no testing of any equipment, systems or materials is included in this scope of work. 4LEAF, Inc. team that included Jay Shih PE, CBO, CASp, Joe Nicholes PE and Marcus Johnson CBO. Team arrived on site 24730 Newport Road, Menifee CA, at 7:46 am on Thursday April 25th, 2024, weather partly cloudy 53 degrees.
Site generally long un kept weeds material scattered throughout the site, three buildings abandoned in partial state of construction. Building one exterior wall constructed of ICF blocks in partial state of construction, pad 3 building frame and sheeted server weathering of wood product without being weather protected. Pad 4 building red irons standing and various condition due to fire.
Building 1 Krikorian Theater
This project was to develop a 13 screen multi-plex with stadium seating. The facility includes a large format screen auditorium, concession stand, 2 bars, bowling alley, laser tag, restroom facilities and separate party rooms. The facility is a freestanding building with insulated concrete forms (ICF) exterior wall construction.
Materials (ICF Blocks)
ICF (Fox Block) has been in the sunlight since brought on site, yellowing of different degree on all blocks all blocks produce a powdery substance to the touch, foam in most areas seem to still be pliable and has not hardened or become brittle. Storage of un-used materials and in use materials have been exposed to UV rays for longer than a three (3) month period, manufacturer recommendation is to have exterior finished installed prior to more than three (3) month of UV expose. Protection of materials from excessive UV rays is recommended per manufacturer.
Blocks have powdery film that must be removed prior to any application of exterior finishes or waterproofing membrane.
IFC blocks have been damaged in several areas creating holes and divots in the product.
Patching of areas shall be conducted per manufacturer technical bulletins and recommendation.
In many areas this has been done, Spray foam will quickly degrade and break down when exposed to UV light from the sun. Spray foam insulation that is left uncovered outside will be subjected to a great deal of sunlight and will only last a fraction of the time outdoors and exposed. Foam used to patch on site does not look to have any fire rating property.

ICF blocks have been hit with graffiti on both the inside and outsides of the walls foam products have been dissolved by the types of spray paints used. Large section of the exterior portion of the ICF product would require patching to maintain the product R values and properties. Product listing does not provide any patching recommendations for area of these sizes.

Spray foam insulation that is left uncovered outside will be subjected to a great deal of sunlight and will only last a fraction of the time outdoors and exposed. Foam used to patch on site does not look to have any fire rating property. Current patches have been exposed to the UV for extended periods of time. “Fox Block” is the manufacture of the product in use and placed onsite. All materials stored on site in open to the elements, have not been stored per the manufacture’s recommendations. All materials that are in-use are not part of a completed assembly in various stages of construction.
The “Fox Block” ICF product as they stand currently allowed for water intrusion within uncompleted wall assemblies.
Material (On-site non protected)
Embeds, post bases, steal columns roof structures etc. have been on-site for an unspecified period. These materials have been through severe weather cycles unprotected from the elements. These weather cycles can produce expansion, contraction, rust, and deterioration of all materials.
Wall Construction
Per standards of plumbness tolerances block work Fox Blocks are a modular system of stay-in- place insulating concrete. The forms interlocks as the wall are built and by using an ICF specific alignment and bracing systems, during and after concrete placement, the walls can be aligned to be plumb and straight to string lines and laser levels. When constructing the cast-in-place concrete Fox Blocks walls, the walls must be built within certain construction tolerances to be straight, plumb and level. These tolerances may be found in the construction documents, codes, or relevant standards. The following ACI references are for information and may be used as a guide for maintaining a plumb wall:
ACI 318 – Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (Does not specifically address tolerances other than saying walls to be true, square and plumb.)

4.1.1.1.1 Deviation from plumb – for heights less than or equal to 83'-4" the lesser of 0.3% (0.003) times the height above the top of foundation or +/- 1" (This is a reference standard only and not part of the building code and therefore not mandatory unless it is referenced in the construction documents.) The engineer-architect of record may accept the element if it meets one of the following criteria:
• Exceeding the tolerances does not affect the structural integrity, legal boundaries, or architectural requirements
• The element or total assembly can be modified to meet all structural and architectural requirements
Exposed steel, anchor bolts, and embedment plates
Embed plates and tie rebar at intersection of 2nd lift that is not incased within the 2nd lift have notable rust that will need to have a determination that they are still within design specification after rust has been abated.
Anchor bolts at top of finished wall have received major water damage in some area. Rust must be abated prior to determining if bolt diameter still falls within design and construction parameters.
Anchor bolts at top of finished wall have received major water damage in some area. Rust must be abated prior to determining if bolt diameter still falls within design and construction parameters.
Beam poured in place
Poured in place beams at several location have cold joints that move across the beam, beams were poured separately from the 1st lift and were formed with wood. The formation of a concrete cold joint creates a weak bond between two concrete pours. It is due to the placement of concrete on concrete at has started hardening.
Auditorium wall and slab (Water issues)
Auditorium 1, 3 and bowling alley lane area are holding large pools of water. Auditoriums 2 and 4 have held water in the past per water level lines in the block walls, these rooms also show water has expelled at slab wall interception and at wall corner intersection. Plans do not indicate any type of below grade waterproofing at ICF foundation to slab connections. Pooling water auditoriums have been submerged for a decent period of time; this can create water absorption issued that could affect the proposed concrete mixture as designed. Areas where water was being held and has now found a way under the slab poses a secondary issue of large amounts of water saturating points under the foundation. These levels of saturation do not seem to be accounted for within the soils analysis that the slab and foundation were designed to.
Wall Bracing
ICF poured in place wall have construction bracing installed at all the exterior. Temp wall bracing shall be certified that it meets the requirements of Paragraph 12.5 of ANSI A10. 9-1970 requires masonry or concrete walls to be temporarily shored and braced until the designed lateral strength is reached, to prevent collapse due to wind or other forces.

Conclusion of Recommendation
All aspects of the building systems have been left unfinished and open to the elements for a period of at least 4 years. These systems all have fallen out of normal construction tolerances.
Extensive testing would be required to provide system could be salvage and accept at full design loading to complete the building systems. The degree of these testing is very invasive, sampling would be required in multiple areas both vertically and horizontally. This may take additional toll on system that are already stressed. The interior of the ICF poured concrete walls have the biggest issues as complete system would need to be taken down, samples of cores to be provide that the interior of the pervious poured in place walls have not absorbed water and held water within the ICF form for an extend period causing deterioration of rebar tensile strength and numerous cycles of water expanding and contracting within poured in place walls.
Slab and foundation will need an Geotechnical Engineer to provide testing to verify that water intrusion at multiple locations will not affect the design parameters of the loading dispersion as designed. The soils report was designed at normal code specified loading values with no wet soils condition.
With these issues and the current condition of the system on site, the serious nature of destructive testing that would need to take place to provide proof that system and materials could be salvaged would add undo stress to system that have already fallen out of construction tolerances and disrepair. Removal of vertical and horizontal systems would be recommended, as the time to conduct the required testing puts currently stressed system at a disadvantage.
Pad 3 (Shell Building)
Building proposed to be shell for multiple tenants.
Foundation
Foundation/ slab appear to be in good condition. Foundation doesn’t seem to have any settling or movement. Slab as normal surface concrete cracking but nothing out of construction tolerances. Seal plate all appear to be in fair to good condition, hold downs, anchor bolts etc. have surface rust.
Foundation recommendation
Foundation/ slab appear to be in good condition will not require any additional investigation for foundation or slab. Seal plate may need to be replaced in certain areas, due to extreme exposer to the element’s plywood will need to be replaced. In areas of 2,4,6 and 12 nailing seal plate may need to be replace due to over nailing. Structural observation will be required to determine what portion will need to be replaced vs. what will be allowed to stay.
Anchor bolts and hold down will need to have rust abated, all bolting at hardware will require tightening to manufacture specification.

Pad 4 (Fire Damaged Building)
Proposed multitenant shell building, Building was at framed and sheathed prior to the fire.
Pad 4
Pad 4 was hit by fire sometime in late 2023, when site walk was performed on 4/30/24 post fire clean up had already occurred. Structural steel, electrical panels, and foundation are the building component in place on site. All wood has been removed.
Pad 4 recommendation
Building was involved in a major fire; most building components have been affected by the fire.
Foundation recommendation
The concrete foundations are exposed in several areas round the building. Remove and replace fire affected soils, regrade around building to get back to plan approved rough and finished grades.
Concrete curb detail shows a nail strip of wood for drywall, this wood had been fire damaged and causing a breaking point within the curb. All anchor bolts and hardware that is in this curb will need to be removed and replaced. Design to provide a reconstruction detail to for the removal of the curb and epoxy schedule for reinstallation of anchor bolts and hold downs.
Steel Framing recommendation
Steel posts have taken on stress from the fire and from load of falling structural members. Posts have bending and twisting issues that will need to be addressed by the steel fabricators. A survey will need to be preformed to indicate how much of the post is deformed and what will it take to either repair the steel post or will they need to be replaced.

5 As Fox Blocks expands throughout
North America, training courses
follow to ensure proper knowledge
and techniques are used
during installations.
Trainings are tailored to the region
and focus on contractors, building
officials, engineers/architects, and
building supply yards.
When installing contractors
complete a training, they are
required to complete the proper
paperwork to earn a wallet card
(see at right). This wallet card
can be used when asked for
by building officials.
As contractors gain experience,
higher level wallet cards are earned.
Tracking experience on successfully
completed projects allows us to
make appropriate recommendations

FOX BLOCKS
To help understand the cost advantage of using Fox Blocks Industrial Strength Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) consider the following key points:
THREE KEY AREAS GIVE YOU THE TRUE ACCURATE COST
OF THE ICF YOU CHOOSE:
1) ICF BLOCK COST
Most ICFs fall to within $0.10 per square foot of each other in block cost which is a minor portion of the overall cost of the wall construction. You must get “All-In” landed ICF System cost to accurately compare.
2) ANCILLARY PRODUCT COST
Add in all ancillary product costs that are not in the block quote. A common example is most ICF require internal truss wire to give needed strength to the system. Know what's required within system install guidelines to produce a straight wall. See next page for examples that will save you time & money on your next job. 3) MAN HOUR RATE TO INSTALL
Eliminating tasks will shave hours/days off the project. Installation labor is the largest portion of overall ICF cost. Seek full disclosure on man hour rates to install the ICF system you are considering. Listening to experienced installing contractors and gaining an understanding of the attributes of ICF products can make the difference between a streamlined, profitable job and one that is not.
AT FOX BLOCKS:
EXPERIENCE
Airlite Plastics Co., the parent company of Fox Blocks, manufactured many different brands of ICF over the past 15+ years. Much experience was gained while producing over a hundred million square feet of ICF. Designed, engineered and delivered to your local market.
COMPETENCE
Airlite Plastics controls all aspects of development and production = “Industry Leading Products.”
COMMON SENSE
We went to the field and asked the professionals what they needed to be effective and efficient. After listening to them we produced an Industrial Strength ICF called Fox Blocks!
STABILITY
Since 1946 the family run Airlite Plastics business has grown and provided high quality proven products over the decades. We have and will continue to provide the highest quality products to the construction industry for years to come.

WHY CHOOSE FOX BLOCKS
7 TWO PROVEN AREAS TO REMOVE COST:
1) CORNERS
PROBLEM: Historically, corner blocks have proved to be very difficult for installing contractors to hold the corner positioning or actually holding concrete during the consolidation process. Contractors have resorted to inserting internal ties, external strapping and bracing to gain needed strength. This adds cost in additional materials and man hour rates.
SOLUTION: Our engineering staff at Fox Blocks developed more length to the corners and introduced the heaviest
cross tie corner bracket on the market. Adding these features to our large/strong interlock stopped rotation and movement within the blocks during the pour and added needed burst strength. Having this bracket, and no less than two ties from each corner in all 45˚ and 90˚ block, eliminates need for additional strapping or internal ties.
RESULT: Confidence to the installing contractor, lower man hour rates, and lower material costs proven by over 10 years of successful projects. Utilizing our Fox Blocks “next generation” corner block design will save you money through time and material reductions.
COST: The Fox Blocks corners cost the same per square
foot as the Fox Blocks straight block. Cost may appear higher than our competitors because our corners are 16" or more in length. In many cases, our corners are actually lower in cost per square foot and at the same time save you even more in time and materials.
2) ELIMINATE TRUSS WIRE (FORM LOCK, BLOCK LOCK)
PROBLEM: Some ICF interlocks and slender plastic webs have caused the need for internal truss wire to aid in producing adequate strength to add rigidity to produce a straight wall.
SOLUTION: Two very simple Fox Blocks innovations cured this problem: 1) A bold and reversible interlock was created to help hold the wall true. 2) A full height internal tie was designed to use solid stacking strength to hold the wall from settling or racking.
RESULT: A wall that, through design, eliminates the need for truss wire.
The Fox Blocks extended 90˚

alone strength during concrete
placement.
Some other ICF brands
strap corners with
lumber for strength
during concrete
placement.
The Fox Blocks extended 90˚
corner block with an extra tie on
each end for strength.
USING FOX BLOCKS ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR TRUSS WIRE
Truss wire costs over $0.50 per lineal foot and is called for at bottom of wall and then every 4 or 5 rows of block. Actual cost = Over $0.14 per sq ft in materials and at least $0.04 per sq ft labor for a total of $0.18 or more per sq ft cost.
This is equivalent to $0.40 per block

9 FOX BLOCKS STUDS
You are a sheetrock, residential wood frame, commercial steel stud or siding contractor that has been trained, and are efficient with, a continuous 1½" wide attachment surface @ 16" on center.
Our team agrees with this tradition and therefore created Fox Blocks with the same, continuous 1½" wide attachment surface, but increased it to 8" on center.
Just think, when attaching sheet rock or siding to Fox Blocks, you can use the same training you have used until now and understand.
FOX BLOCKS
• A full 1½" wide
• 8" o/c to achieve industry standard 16" o/c's

THE OLD
For the past 20+ years, the interlock of
most ICFs in the industry have been designed
to be within ½" to 1" of the desired building
dimension. Most contractors have been
trained that it is acceptable to be this far
off the desired dimension.
THE NEW
When the Fox Blocks interlock was
designed, our engineering staff made the
choice not to focus on being within ½" to 1"
from the building dimension, but to give the
strongest interlock possible. To do this they
turned the projections and recesses of the
interlock parallel to the block itself and for
simplicity/strength they made them 1" wide
and 2" long. Walls should be square and
built to the building dimensions. For
this reason, Fox Blocks recommends
stacking seams when needed.
BENEFITS OF THE LARGE
INTERLOCK
• Minimized movement during
concrete placement
• No adhesive required due to tightness
of interlock
• Eliminates the need for truss wire
within the wall
• The full height ties are always on top
or 4" apart of each other
Review next page to see the proper procedure
for stacking seams.
CUT LINES
Every block has cut lines inscribed on the
face. The cut lines are spaced @ 2" o/c and
when used will place the cut precisely at the
end of the interlocking tooth on top and bottom
of block. The design was made for simplicity
and speed of construction.
When required to cut block, use the cut line to
maintain a running bond on each course.
Note: In most cases, when not cutting precisely
on a cut line a stacked seam will be created.

WHY CHOOSE FOX BLOCKS
11 BUILDING MULTIPLE LEVELS WITH DIFFERENT SIZED BLOCK
All sizes of Fox Blocks fit well on top of each other for any type of configuration with little or no modifications needed. This is simple math.
Fox Blocks are reversible with 2" projections and recesses which means you will work with a 4" offset. For this reason the 4", 8" and 12" block all work well together as they are all divisible by 4". Using the same math, the 6" block attaches to all sizes of Fox Blocks with a 2" difference in tie alignment. This is not a concern as this joint line will usually happen at a floor diaphragm.
6" CORNER BLOCK ON TOP OF 8", 10" OR 12" CORNER BLOCK:
The 6" corner works well on top of the 8", 10" or 12" corner blocks when going around an outside corner. For inside corners, simply remove the projections off the corner block and continue building. You may need to create a stacked seam on one or both sides of the inside corner at which time we recommend moving the stacked seams for each wall closer to that inside corner.
THE NEW TRAINING
ROW ONE
Simply start from each corner to a
point within the wall. Cut one of the
blocks to fit perfectly. The cut does
NOT need to be on the cut lines.
Measure the cut block and mark
its measurement to the side of that
block large enough for everyone
to see.
ROW TWO
Start at the corners again placing
the corner block the opposite
direction from row one to give an
overlap with the block. When you
reach the cut block on row one, cut
the block above it to line up exactly.
Again the cut does not need to be
on the cut line. Measure the cut
block and mark its measurement
to the side of that block large
enough for everyone to see.
ROW THREE
(five, seven, nine, etc)
Should be exactly the same as
row one.
ROW FOUR
(six, eight, ten, etc)
Should be exactly the same as
row two.
PRIOR TO CONCRETE
Simply connect the vertical seam
that you created, at the one point
in the wall, with strapping, or
plywood, on both sides of each
block. Use one 12" to 24" long strap,
3" to 6" wide, made out of 1 x wood
boards or plywood sheathing
attached with one screw in each tie
on each side of seam.
RESULTS
We have found that the man hour
rate will drop using this method
because the crew spends less time
thinking how they can get closer to
the building dimension and more
time actually being productive.
We have found it to be a waste of time and energy to attempt to offset or stagger the block, at the meeting point, as in the photo above-left. By creating a vertical stacked seam, you will be more accurate with the job dimensions and will increase your profit by gaining efficiency with your crew.
Inside Corner:
Only with 6" corner on 8", 10" or
12" corner. Simply cut projections
off corner block
Outside Corner
Works Well
6" 90˚ corner block on top of 8", 10" or 12” 90˚ corner block

CONSTRUCTION ADVANTAGES
As a modular, easy to install building product (one block equals 5.33 sq. ft. of wall area), the construction process is expedited with less labor and faster completion timelines. As a 6 in 1 product, fewer materials are required to meet the requirements for high-performance wall assemblies. Fox Blocks may be used to construct below grade and above grade walls for all building types and sizes. There is a definite business advantage in being a Fox Blocks Installer/Contractor.
THERMAL COMFORT
The continuous, double insulated, mass concrete core performs better than the calculated R-value of R22+ for the wall assembly. Fox Blocks ICF wall assemblies meet and exceed current and pending energy codes for thermal comfort, in cold and hot climates zones. The use of the Fox Blocks Energy Stick enhances the R-value to R30+ or R39+.
AIR TIGHTNESS
The air tightness of a building envelope is one of the main contributors to energy efficiency and control of the indoor environment. Fox Blocks enables Air Changes per Hour (ACH) to be evaluated at much less than code requirements without extra sealants, tapes, or membranes. Another material and labor advantage.
INDOOR COMFORT
The high thermal performance and air tightness of the Fox Blocks wall assembly provides excellent indoor comfort and improves the buildings operational performance characteristics for the interior environment. They eliminate moisture intrusion, function as a vapor retardant, and maximize airtightness, all while managing the indoor air quality and allowing for healthy climate control and sound mitigation.
BUILDING SCIENCE
Fox Blocks ICFs address all four building science properties – air, moisture, vapor and thermal to create a comfortable and safe environment.
Conduction: Continuous Insulation, High R-Value Wall Assembly of R-22+ Convection: Airtightness with an ACH of less than 0.03
Radiation: High thermal Mass of Double Insulated Concrete Core IAQ: The EPS or Concrete does not off-gas or contribute to mold or mildew growth
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
All the characteristics of a Fox Blocks building envelope provide 40% plus in operational costs savings, and enable a Net Zero Ready evaluation. The continuous double layer of insulation utilizes the thermal mass of the concrete core to moderate temperature transfer through the wall assembly. The EPS wall assembly will not deteriorate or lose R-value over time.
REDUCED HVAC
The performance characteristics of a Fox Blocks wall assembly, when initially evaluated or modelled for the design of HVAC equipment, dramatically reduces the first cost sizing and ongoing operational expenses of the heating and cooling systems, as well as the Photovoltaic (Solar) requirements.
RESILIENCY
Fox Blocks creates a reinforced concrete wall assembly that has certified fire testing for fire resistance ratings - 2HR for a 4" form and 4HR for a 6", 8", 10" or 12" forms. The wall assembly may be designed to resist high winds over 200 mph and flying debris. The concrete and EPS wall is not damaged from flood waters. FEMA recognizes ICFs for the construction of safe rooms and storm shelters.
PASSIVE SURVIVABILITY
Fox Blocks ICF high-thermal-mass wall systems significantly contribute towards passive survivability and resilient design. The continuous insulation with an R-value of 23 creates an airtight-building envelope, preventing heat loss through conduction, while its vapor retarder stops air and moisture infiltration through convection. The high-thermal mass of Fox Blocks ICF helps to stabilize and maintain a building’s temperature during lengthy power outages.

CORNER FEATURES
1) All blocks have Ties* at 8" o/c and are available in 4", 6", 8", 10" and 12" cavities.
* Ties are the black recycled polypropylene members that give the block strength and provide rebar positioning.
2) Like all Fox Blocks, corner blocks are reversible so when you ask for a corner you will get the correct one
every time. Each corner is left or right automatically! 3) Foam thickness is 2 5/8" on all forms.
4) Tie allows rebar lap splices to lay on top of each
other for good flowability during concrete placement.
5) Ties are clearly marked on EPS for attachments.
6) Tie flanges are 1½" wide and full height for ease
of attachment.
7) Ties touch vertically when stacked, eliminating
form settlement.
8) Each corner has a 1" hole strategically placed allowing the ICF contractor the option of inserting a full height ¾" PVC conduit to tie all courses together for extra
form support.
OTHER ICF 90s
• 5 to 5.33 total square feet of coverage
• More costly per square foot of coverage
• 16" shorter than Fox Blocks
• Only 4 ties
• Only one tie on short end
• More movement during concrete
FOX BLOCKS 90s
• 7.56 total square feet of coverage
• Less costly per square foot of coverage
• 16" longer than other ICF
• 6 ties
• Two ties on short end
• Less movement during concrete
OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS ARE:
4" Corner = 38 " x 22"
6" Corner = 40 " x 24"
8" Corner = 42" x 26"
10" Corner = 42" x 26"
12" Corner = 46" x 30"
Every Fox
Blocks corner
has a large

There has always been a need for a block
that can create a ledge to support floor
systems within the wall without limiting
course heights. The Fox Blocks team has solved
this by adding an extra attachment point
within the tie. This patented solution allows
you to form a curb with the block to support
whatever you need to support.
USING THE CURB BLOCK
1) INSTALLATION
See following page for proper steps using the curb block. 2) SHAPES AVAILABLE WITH THE CURB BLOCK
Curb block is currently available in 8" and 10" straights, as well as 8" and 10" ninety degree corners.
3) RANGE OF USE
The Curb Block can be cut down as low as 11" from the top of the block. You can also cut up to as much as 11" from the bottom of the block to use when wrapping around concrete slabs. See page two for an example of this.
4) ESTIMATING
Straight blocks = 4'-0" long.
Formula: (Total linear footage of wall - total linear footage taken up by 90˚ corners)/ 4 = Number of straight curb blocks 90˚ corner blocks = 5'-4" each.
Formula: Number of 90˚ turns = Number of 90˚ corner blocks 5) IDENTIFICATION
The Curb Block has been designed with a green tie for easy identification. By producing the ties in green, supply yards will be able to identify and send you the proper block. This will also ensure your crew will not use it in the wall at the wrong time. 6) BUNDLE SIZES
8" straight block = 8" 90˚ corner block =
12 per bundle 6 per bundle
10" straight block = 10" 90˚ corner block =
9 per bundle 6 per bundle
7) EXCESS BLOCK?
If you end up with extra Curb Block on site, you can save for next job or simply use them up within the walls you are building. The shape and size of the Curb Block is identical to the normal straight and 90˚ corner blocks.
EXAMPLE OF
A GARAGE
SLAB/BEAM
Using the Curb Block
in a garage situation
allows a raw concrete
finish on the interior
face, eliminating the
need to cover EPS. Any
height beam or wall
can use curb block on
top row. Optionally, a
field cut taper can be
cut into outside face for
extra bearing.

(877) 369-2562 | FOXBLOCKS.COM | TRUEGRIDPAVER.COM1.01.01 Technical Information & Product Guide Update V8.0 19 INSTALLATION STEPS:
STEP 1
Separate Curb Block bundles and set
aside until needed. You can identify the
Curb Block by the green ties.
STEP 2
Decide where you need the concrete
shelf elevation to land and either mark
and rip-cut the block with a circular saw
or set a fence on a table saw and make
your cut. Finish cut by cutting the tie
with a handsaw.
STEP 3
Attach forming to the Curb Block
inner ties. Simply screw two #8
coarse threaded screws to each tie
to withstand concrete pressure. Fox
Blocks recommends the use of ½ "
or thicker plywood or equivalent.
STEP 4
Place concrete as normal. For best
results, Fox Blocks recommends
properly consolidating entire wall
including Curb Block.
STEP 5
After sufficient curing remove form
boards. You now have a solid concrete
ledge for supporting what you need
supported.
STEP 6
If you need extra support, a taper can
be cut prior to concrete placement to
allow for up to a 6¼" ledge.
FOX BLOCKS CURB BLOCK
INSTALLATION & USES
CURB BLOCK USES:
• Hollowcore
• Precast
• Dimensional Wood Floors
• Engineered Wood Floors
• Truss Floors
• Brick
• Garage Slabs
• Creating Recesses (See Below)
• Composite Floor Systems
• Pan Deck
EXAMPLE OF A WALL RECESS
This type of application will be treated as
an opening in the wall and will require extra
reinforcing within the concrete (rebar). The
Curb Block will allow openings up to 22"
in height using two blocks.
WOOD FLOORS
For the real life example above, we cut off
6" from the left side, turned the cut-off over
and connected to the right side creating a 12"
curb. This works well with wood floors, giving
you ultra strength without any concerns of
moisture in the future.

Sure you can build T walls with a couple of
straight block and some tie wire, but if you
want to lower your man hour rate, you need
the Fox Blocks T-Block.
When contractors said they needed a T-Block,
Fox Blocks delivered with one that is easy to
use and incredibly strong.
FOX BLOCKS T-BLOCK FEATURES
1) The T-Blocks are available in 6" and 8" concrete cores. 2) Six T-Blocks per bundle (3 short and 3 long)
3) Two ties* are used at the intersection of the “T” to give maximum strength and attachment. These ties
are placed in such a way as to allow proper rebar
placement and ultimate form strength.
* Ties are the black recycled polypropylene members that give the block strength and provide rebar positioning.
4) Like all Fox Blocks, blocks are reversible which gives you double the options with just one block. You can
choose to have the T section on the right or left of
center simply by flipping the block over.
5) Foam thickness is 2 5/8" on all blocks.
6) Ties allow proper rebar lap splices, for maximum
flowability during concrete placement and consolidation. 7) Ties are clearly marked in EPS for attachments.
8) Tie flanges are 1½" wide and full height for ease
of attachment.
9) Ties touch vertically when stacked eliminating
form settlement.
10) The T-Block will give you 8" of overlap
most directions.
8" T-BLOCK INSTALLATION
The unique manufacturing challenges were overcome for the 8" T-Block by establishing a 4" offset. This off-set results in rows of ties staggered by 4" if placed with factory ends against each other. The easy fix to properly line up ties is to install the T-Block and create a stacked joint at the butt end of the long T leg. Strap stack joint prior to concrete placement.
OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS ARE:
6" T - Block Short = 44" x 43/8"
6" T - Block Long = 44" x 123/8"
8" T - Block Short = 44" x 4¾"
8" T - Block Long = 44" x 8¾"

ENERGY STICK
How do you improve an Insulated Concrete
Form wall that already out-perform most wall
system in all climates? You move the concrete
mass toward the living side of the wall. This
unbalanced R-value will allow the mass to be
closer to the living temperature of the conditioned
space allowing for a more comfortable building.
The Fox Blocks design team had two goals: 1) Move the mass away from the harsh temperatures and 2) Increase R-value.
Each Energy Stick is 8" wide, 32" tall, 2" thick and profiled to fit within all Fox Blocks. The Energy Stick is used to ensure an R-8 boost to the already high R-Value of Fox Blocks.
USING THE ENERGY STICK
1) INSTALLATION
Simply insert the patented Energy Sticks between the
plastic ties and to the outside face of wall after every two rows of blocks have been placed.
2) CORNER BLOCKS
Fox Blocks corners are naturally thicker eliminating the need to insert Energy Sticks from the corner tie on.
From the last straight tie to the corner tie you will need to wedge the Energy stick in place. A spot of expanding foam will also help to secure the Energy Stick from
movement.
3) OPENINGS/STACKED SEAMS
Simply cut the Energy Stick to fit in locations that are narrower than 8". When larger than 8" use expanding
foam to hold cut Energy Sticks.
4) RANGE OF USE
The Energy Stick will fit all Fox Blocks.
5) ESTIMATING
3 Energy Sticks for every block ordered.
One box = 36 Energy Sticks
One box of Energy Sticks will fill 12 blocks
6) MAN HOURS
Allow 4 minutes per box when inserting for the first time (= 950 square feet of wall per hour or .001 man hours per square foot)
7) BUNDLE SIZES
Each box of 36 Energy Sticks = approximately
24" x 24" x 33"
SIZING AND ACTUAL R-VALUE
6" Block + 1 Energy Stick (R-30+*) = 4" Concrete
8" Block + 1 Energy Stick (R-30+*) = 6" Concrete
10" Block + 1 Energy Stick (R-30+*) = 8" Concrete
10" Block + 2 Energy Sticks (R-39+*) = 6" Concrete
12" Block + 1 Energy Stick (R-30+*) = 10" Concrete
12" Block + 2 Energy Sticks (R-39+*) = 8" Concrete
12" Block + 3 Energy Sticks (R-48+*) = 6" Concrete
* This represents the overall average wall R-value. As an example in wood frame construction a wall with R-19
batt insulation will have an overall average wall R-value of less than R-16 due to thermal bridging.

LEDGE
REINFORCEMENT
From foundation to finish, the Fox Blocks patented
family of products helps you get the job done more
efficiently. Combining industry feedback with the
Fox Blocks product design team creativity, we
offer an impressive array of product innovations
that benefit the owner, the contractor, AND the
design team.
FOX BLOCKS’ xLERATOR – the only product of its kind in the industry and first one to meet ACI 318 guidelines – is a patented ICF ledge reinforcement system that offers unmatched versatile performance ideal for supporting brick and stone exterior finishes, as well as slabs, floors and other structural features.
The one-piece, 4-foot long, welded wire reinforcement piece simply drops into the pre-formed slots in Fox Blocks’ ledge form.
There’s never been a faster way to meet deadlines and building code requirements, all while significantly reducing labor costs and delays associated with pre-bent stirrups or in-field rebar reinforcement.
BENEFITS INCLUDE
• DROP & GO
Fully engineered ledge system allows you to easily place the ledge form, drop in the xLerator reinforcement piece and fill with concrete.
• ACI 318 COMPLIANT
ONLY xLerator meets ACI 318 guidelines for ICF
ledge reinforcement.
• WEATHER RESISTANT
Hot-dipped galvanized to protect from corrosion for
lasting durability.
• FULLY ENGINEERED
Comes complete with full engineering details for
multiple applications.
• MAXIMUM STRENGTH
Reinforcement in all 6 ledge corbels.
• VERSATILE
One size fits both 6" and 8" ledge forms.
WHY HOT-DIPPED GALVANIZED?
Hot-dip galvanization is the process of taking steel and dipping it into molten zinc to serve as a protective coating.
If rebar in a ledge form is NOT galvanized, it’s subject to corrosion because it is placed close to the outside edge of the brick ledge, sits in a foam slot, and is not completely encased in concrete. This allows water to reach the rebar and causes it to rust. As the rebar rusts, it expands, causes concrete to crack, and undermines the stability of the ledge.
Since the xLerator is hot-dipped galvanized, it protects the reinforcement from rusting and maintains the integrity of the concrete meeting ACI 318 guidelines.
APPLICABLE ACI 318 GUIDELINES
Deformed Welded Wire Reinforcement (WWR)
• Reinforcement in every corbel
• WWR 60,000 PSI Yield Strength

HV CLIP
Contractors asked for a wire clip to secure
their Fox Blocks jobs together so the team
at Fox Blocks went to work designing one.
Fox Blocks ties are engineered to be
perfectly balanced, spaced at 8" o/c
Horizontally and Vertically, giving flat walls
post concrete. This allowed us to put all of
our design into one wire clip which helps
everyone with only one SKU.
Using the Fox Blocks HV Clip eliminates
the need for truss wire completely on
your jobs. The result is that for about
half the cost of the truss wire you will
get a stronger and straighter job.
The Fox Blocks HV Clip has been
engineered with eight bends allowing
one clip to work horizontally
or vertically.

ICF BRACING/SCAFFOLD
WHY WE USE ICF
BRACING/SCAFFOLD
Safe work site and straight walls
ICF Bracing Systems provide
adjustment to align the walls to
a string line, enabling perfectly
straight walls after concrete
placement. No one has
an eye good enough to
straighten walls longer
than 20'.
With proper kits, most systems can
be used for walls up to 24' tall.
Contact Fox Blocks for walls over 24'
tall. Systems are available for ICF tall
walls 30' to 60' in height.
Most scaffold brands
have racks to store and
transport ICF Bracing.
Simply stake or screw
the turnbuckle feet to
the ground or floor.
Typical Bracing / Scaffold Setup
AVAILABLE THROUGH FOX BLOCKS
Follow bracing/scaffold manufacturer recommendations.
FACTS
Bracing is typically installed on inside wall
face but can also be on the outer side.
Budget one brace set for every 6 ' of
wall length. End user provides
planks, railing & screws.
Typical bracing set is 3 pieces -
Steel Strongback, Platform Bracket
and Adjustable Brace Pole.
When building walls over three courses tall Fox
Blocks recommends the use of an OSHA approved
ICF Bracing/Alignment/Scaffolding system.
ICF BRACING/SCAFFOLD HAVE
THREE MAIN PARTS
1) STIFF BACK WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE STUDS
IN THE WALL
Screw to ties in block which are 8" o/c. One screw per block row. 2) TURNBUCKLE WHICH ADJUSTS THE WALL.

90˚ CORNERS
USING STANDARD FORMS FOR CORNERS
The versatility of Fox Blocks allows for the
standard forms to be cut on-site to make 90˚
corners, angled-mitered corners or radius walls.
STEPS FOR FIELD CUT 90 ˚ CORNERS
1) Use a full block and a half length block to make the corner.
This will allow for the running bond coursing in the wall. 2) Place one block on top of another block and mark the cut lines to allow the short block to butt against the long block. 3) This alignment requires that only one tie in each block needs to be cut.
4) Align the blocks as per the second diagram.
5) On the next course, use a full block over the short block and a short block over the full block. Cut the blocks having the same joint alternate the alignment joint configuration on each course.
6) After installing the strapping, spray foam the exterior vertical joint.
7) The outside of the corner will require robust strapping (2 x 4, two per course) on every course, as detailed to control the pressure during concrete placement.
8) In placing concrete, minimize the internal pressure at these corners by slowly allowing the concrete flow into the concrete.
Notes:
A) Field cut corners will interlock with standard corner forms.
B) For additional support, vertically brace the outside of each block at these corners.
C) Field cut corners will interlock with standard corner forms.
D) For additional support, vertically brace the outside of each block at these corners.
E) Refer to Technical Bulletin 1.02.09 for Field Cut
Angle-Mitered Corners.
F) Refer to ILC Video Library on Field Cuts.

FOX BLOCKS FIELD CUT
ANGLES
WHEN A MITERED CORNER IS NEEDED
1) Place a straight block on top of another block
and rotate to the desired angle. Take care to
place plastic ties in a position that will minimize
the amount of cutting.
2) When you are satisfied with the positioning mark
both block on the outside faces where they meet.
Notice in the example the block was positioned
so no plastic ties are cut. See Note B.
3) Cut both block and position in the wall. Take care
to ensure the block has been cut so that it does
not force the wall apart. It is better to be a bit
short than too long. See Note A.
4) Once wall is built, stitch and brace the outside
with plywood or dimensional lumber. At this point
some spray foam can be used to fill in any gaps
as long as you have it braced together to keep
the expanding spray foam from pushing
angle apart.
5) Place concrete.
NOTE: Corner will have a very high load of concrete
during placement. Please take the time to brace the
corner properly.
Notes:
A) It is better to be short than it is to be long when
making cuts. If the cuts are short you can always use
spray foam once the wall is completely built, leveled
and plumbed.
B) Plastic ties can be cut if needed as the corner will be braced with lumber anyway. We just try to not cut
through the plastic because it takes more effort.
C) When cutting remaining rows of block ensure the cut
starts at the same location as the first row so that
interlock will line up.
D) Use spray foam only after is completely stacked
and prior to placing concrete.
Use screws long enough to pass through the plastic
ties completely. If your screws do not hold they
need to be longer.
Example is a
45 degree angle.

ATTACHMENT
There are several ways to attach a floor diaphragm to a Fox Blocks wall. The most common has been to simply use common anchor bolts. See bottom of page for other options.
STEPS FOR RIM JOIST ATTACHMENT
1) Build wall to within one row above rim joist location 2) Mark out top and bottom of rim joist location
3) Mark out o/c locations for anchor bolts
4) Cut out 4" x height of rim joist. Angle top cut up into block to allow air to escape during concrete placement.
5) Place rim joist and attach to Fox Blocks ties with 3" deck screws 6) Mark out anchor bolt locations and drill holes
7) Reach inside the Fox Blocks wall and insert the anchor bolt through the hole you drilled
8) Place washer and nut onto anchor bolt. You are now ready for concrete.

IMPORTANT STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL CONCRETE PLACEMENT
A) VOLUME AND MIX DESIGN AND SLUMP
CALCULATING VOLUME
Fox Blocks are exactly 4", 6", 8", 10" or 12" in concrete width. Length x Height x Width to calculate volume needed.
CHOOSING MIX DESIGN
Follow building code and/or Engineer of Record specifications for your concrete mix design requirements.
Admixtures are not required but may help your concrete placement.
Concrete changes throughout North America due to different aggregate, sand, water quality and cement brand being used. Admixtures that work good in one area may not work in another area. Fox Blocks recommends you work closely with your local ready mix supplier for a mix design that will work on your project.
1) Fly ash replacement of cement content up to 30% works well in Fox Blocks walls to improve flow-ability and consolidation.
2) Mid-Range water reducers work well in Fox Blocks walls and will help in flow-ability and consolidation. 3) Gradated mix designs with optimum coarse, intermediate, and fine aggregate ratios can improve flow-ability and consolidation within Fox Blocks walls.
PROPER SLUMP
1) Slump should be as close to 5" to 6" (125mm to 150mm) as possible. 2) Exceeding this slump could cause wall to grow.
3) Less than recommended slump could create consolidation issues. 4) Slump can be roughly measured within the wall as you place the concrete. Use the chart below to know how far ahead your concrete should flow from your placement position when using the desired slump.
This is only a rough guide and can change with concrete design and age.

B) CONCRETE PLACEMENT PLAN
1) Start concrete placement away from corners. Freshly placed concrete will act as an anchor to hold wall in place as concrete enters the corners.
2) Divide wall height into lifts heights for a comfortable placement. Most wall 8' to 12' high will work best with three lifts of concrete.
3) Final lift of concrete should be no less than 16" and preferably 24". If the final lift is less than 16", concrete placement will be very difficult due to concrete pump needing to slow down.
C) CONSOLIDATION PLAN
1) Fox Blocks walls require consolidation.
2) Internal, external or rodding are acceptable consolidation techniques. 3) Internal vibrator head should be 1" in diameter or less. 4) Consolidate each lift of concrete prior to placing the next lift. 5) Internal vibrator should be dropped to bottom of the current lift of concrete and then slowly brought to the surface (approximately 3" per second).
6) External vibration can be using an impact tool which will shake the internal ties which will ensure rebar is completely encased in concrete.
7) External consolidation should start at bottom of concrete lift and move to top of concrete lift to move entrapped air to the surface.

EXTERIOR FINISHES
Fox Blocks provide a high-performance solid wall substrate, with high thermal efficiency, as a weather resistive barrier, air and vapor barriers, with continuous fastening strips, equally spaced to meet specifications for attachment of all exterior finishing materials.
The EPS and reinforced concrete provide a compatible and resilient substrate for all finishes, residential and commercial – either attached or directly applied.
FOX BLOCKS ADVANTAGES
Vinyl or aluminum siding is attached directly to the blocks with screws at the specified spacing. The Fox Blocks fastening strips, continuous (no gaps) are spaced at 8" o.c. and indicated on the blocks. Fox Blocks corner forms have extra wide fastening strips to accommodate siding corner trim strips. Only Wood siding requires furring strips between the ICF and wood, providing air flow to dry the surface.

Cement board siding is directly attached to the blocks with self-counter sinking screws. Screw spacing is per siding manufacturers specifications. Vertical siding will require furring strips fastened to the Fox Blocks.
Review the Fox Blocks Fastener Technical Bulletin 1.08.08.
The Fox Blocks ‘tieKey’ is a masonry anchor that is inserted through the EPS and cast into the concrete. Masonry veneer is supported on the Fox Blocks Corbel block or a Taper-Top block. No WRB is required over the Fox Blocks, once the concrete has been placed and the tieKeys are secure, masonry or stone can begin.
Simulated stone is a direct applied application with a base coat over the Fox Blocks. As a solid substrate, with minimum expansion or contraction, Fox Blocks provides an excellent substrate for simulated stone finishes.
Review the Manufactured Stone Veneer Technical Bulletin 1.08.06 Fox Blocks EPS is Type II which is very compatible for the direct application of acrylic stucco, just prep the walls and apply the base coat. The metal lath for hard coat (traditional) stucco is directly fasten to the Fox Blocks fastening strips with screws or staples and finish coats are applied.
Industrial, flat or corrugated, metal siding is typically installed vertically, this will require metal girts installed directly the Fox Blocks. The girts provide an air space to dissipate and moisture behind the siding.

MAN HOUR RATES
Man Hour Rates (MHR) are used to budget a job properly and efficiently based on square footage with a specific crew size. There are many variables in establishing the overall timeline to estimate and complete projects. Most contractors document their production rates without realizing that time /square footage built will give them a man hour rate, similar to one found in cost estimating programs, such as RS Means.
Over 25 years of history in the ICF business has allowed Fox Blocks to establish accurate numbers to budget future ICF jobs by using the Man Hour Rate tab in the Estimator Pro program.
This table lists examples of MHR based on project square footage and various conditions.
MHR JOB TYPE
1 .055 or less Very efficient crew building a simple job with less than six corners, less than four openings and few or no embeds.
2 .06
.065
.07
Average job with less than eight corners,
less than eight openings, and less than eight embeds.
3 .075
.08
.085
Most common MHR for new crews on moderate or large jobs.
This covers complex residential jobs with 12 or less corners.
This MHR area also works with large commercial jobs with basic 16" o/c rebar and few openings.
4 .085
.095
.10
.105
Very complex residential jobs with 12 or more corners and many openings and embeds. Also includes commercial jobs with many openings and embeds or more than 3 levels
in height.
5 .11 and over Jobs with at least three of the following:
More than 8 short corners (30" or less), high seismic rebar design, more than 20 openings, many embeds, extreme weather, using the wrong scaffold for wall height, over 3 levels in height.
Square Foot of Job (SFJ) = Length * Height (of Fox Walls being built) SFJ * MHR = MAN HOURS TO BUILD JOB
Example: Job has 180 Lineal feet (LF) of wall that is 12' tall. 180 * 12 = 2160 square feet (SF) Job has 6 corners with 6 openings and basic 16" o/c rebar design. Crew has a bit of experience and ICF scaffold is used. We recommend aiming for a .075 MHR but use .085 MHR as a budget number. With experience you will become more efficient, landing more work with more profit.
2160 * .085 = 183.6 Total Man Hours (TMH) for job
183.6 TMH / 6 man crew = 30.6 Total Crew Hours (TCH)
These numbers are estimates only. Many factors will effect the outcome of a job which needs to be taken into account. Please document all work and reflect back to your own crews history when completing budgets for upcoming work. We would like to thank contractors for sharing past history allowing us to build accuracy into this document.
Estimator Pro is available, free, on the Fox Blocks website. Contractors are also encouraged to keep a history of MHRs to improve accurate for successfully quoting on future projects. Utilize the Fox Blocks Field Guide to record this information.
NOTES:
Size of job is not as big of a
factor as you would think.
The only time the size of job
is really a factor is when the
job is so large that the crew
can gain speed while building,
which lowers the MHR. This will
usually be on jobs over 20,000
square feet using the same
crew throughout.
WAYS TO LOWER
YOUR MHR:
1. Pre-Plan Job
2. Proper Size Crew for Job
3. Stage Materials Close to Job
4. Use Proper Scaffold/Bracing
5. Pre-Build Opening Bucks
6. Proper Rebar Placement
7. Fox Training for Crew

FOX BLOCKS EXTENDED
CORNER FEATURES
1) All blocks have Ties* at 8" o/c and are available in 4", 6", 8", 10" and 12" cavities.
* Ties are the black recycled polypropylene members that give the block strength and provide rebar positioning.
2) Like all Fox Blocks, corner blocks are reversible so when you ask for a corner you will get the correct
one every time. Each corner is left or right
automatically!
3) Foam thickness is 2 5/8" on all forms.
4) Tie allows rebar lap splices to lay on top of each
other for good fl owability during concrete placement.
5) Ties are clearly marked on EPS for attachments.
6) Tie fl anges are 1½" wide and full height for ease
of attachment.
7) Ties touch vertically when stacked, eliminating
form settlement.
8) Each corner has a 1" hole strategically placed
allowing the ICF contractor the option of inserting a
full height ¾" PVC conduit to tie all courses together
for extra form support.
OTHER ICF 90s
• 5 to 5.33 total square feet of coverage
• More costly per square foot of coverage

• Only 4 ties
• Only one tie on short end
• More movement during concrete
FOX BLOCKS 90s
• 7.56 total square feet of coverage
• Less costly per square foot of coverage
• 16" longer than other ICF
• 6 ties
• Two ties on short end
• Less movement during concrete
5 to 5.33 total square feet of coverage
OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS ARE:
4" Corner = 38 " x 22"
6" Corner = 40 " x 24"
8" Corner = 42 " x 26"
10" Corner = 42 " x 26"
12" Corner = 46 " x 30"
Every Fox Blocks
corner has a large
100 sq. inch
fastening zone
in the corner.
Being 16" longer than other
ICF allows you to eliminate

1.01.02 FOX BLOCKS CURB BLOCK
There has always been a need for a block that can create a ledge to support fl oor systems within the wall without limiting course heights. The Fox Blocks team has solved this by adding an extra attachment point within the tie. This patented solution allows you to form a curb with the block to support whatever you need to support.
USING THE CURB BLOCK
1) INSTALLATION
See following page for proper steps using the curb block. 2) SHAPES AVAILABLE WITH THE CURB BLOCK
Curb block is currently available in 8" and 10" straights, as well as 8" and 10" ninety degree corners.
3) RANGE OF USE
The Curb Block can be cut down as low as 11" from the top of the block. You can also cut up to as much as 11" from the bottom of the block to use when wrapping around concrete slabs. See page two for an example of this.
4) ESTIMATING
Straight blocks = 4'-0" long.
Formula: (Total linear footage of wall - total linear footage taken up by 90˚ corners)/ 4 = Number of straight curb blocks 90˚ corner blocks = 5'-4" each.
Formula: Number of 90˚ turns = Number of 90˚ corner blocks 5) IDENTIFICATION
The Curb Block has been designed with a green tie for easy identifi cation. By producing the ties in green, supply yards will be able to identify and send you the proper block. This will also ensure your crew will not use it in the wall at the wrong time.
6) BUNDLE SIZES
8" straight block = 8" 90˚ corner block =
12 per bundle 6 per bundle
10" straight block = 10" 90˚ corner block =
9 per bundle 6 per bundle
7) EXCESS BLOCK?
If you end up with extra Curb Block on site, you can save for next job or simply use them up within the walls you are building. The shape and size of the Curb Block is identical to the normal straight and 90˚ corner blocks.
patented solution allows you to form a curb with the block to
EXAMPLE OF
A GARAGE
SLAB/BEAM
Using the Curb Block
in a garage situation
allows a raw concrete
fi nish on the interior
face, eliminating the
need to cover EPS. Any
height beam or wall can
use curb block on top
row. Optionally, a fi eld
cut taper can be cut into
outside face for extra
bearing.

1.01.02 FOX BLOCKS T-BLOCK
Sure you can build T walls with a couple of straight block and some tie wire, but if you want to lower your man hour rate, you need the Fox Blocks T-Block.
When contractors said they needed a T-Block, Fox Blocks delivered with one that is easy to use and incredibly strong.
FOX BLOCK T-BLOCK FEATURES
1) The T-Blocks are available in 6" and 8" concrete cores. 2) Six T-Blocks per bundle (3 short and 3 long)
3) Two ties* are used at the intersection of the “T” to give maximum strength and attachment. These ties
are placed in such a way as to allow proper rebar
placement and ultimate form strength.
* Ties are the black recycled polypropylene members that give the block strength and provide rebar positioning.
4) Like all Fox Blocks, blocks are reversible which gives you double the options with just one block. You can
choose to have the T section on the right or left of
center simply by fl ipping the block over.
5) Foam thickness is 2 5/8" on all blocks.
6) Ties allow proper rebar lap splices, for maximum
fl owability during concrete placement and consolidation. 7) Ties are clearly marked in EPS for attachments.
8) Tie fl anges are 1½" wide and full height for ease
of attachment.
9) Ties touch vertically when stacked eliminating
form settlement.
10) The T-Block will give you 8" of overlap
most directions.
8" T-BLOCK INSTALLATION
The unique manufacturing challenges were overcome for the 8" T-Block by establishing a 4" offset. This off-set results in rows of ties staggered by 4" if placed with factory ends against each other. The easy fi x to properly line up ties is to install the T-Block and create a stacked joint at the butt end of the long T leg. Strap stack joint prior to concrete placement.
OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS ARE:
6" T - Block Short = 44" x 4 3/8"
6" T - Block Long = 44" x 123/8"
8" T - Block Short = 44" x 4 ¾"
8" T - Block Long = 44" x 8¾"

1.01.02 FOX BLOCKS
ENERGY STICK
How do you improve an Insulated Concrete Form wall
that already out-perform most wall system in all cli-
mates? You move the concrete mass toward the living
side of the wall. This unbalanced R-value will allow
the mass to be closer to the living temperature of the
conditioned space allowing for a more comfortable
building.
The Fox Blocks design team had two goals: 1) Move
the mass away from the harsh temperatures and 2)
Increase R-value. Each Energy Stick is 8" wide, 32"
tall, 2" thick and profi led to fi t within all Fox Blocks.
The Energy Stick is used to ensure an R-8 boost to the
already high R-Value of Fox Blocks.
USING THE
ENERGY STICK
1) INSTALLATION
Simply insert the patented Energy
Sticks between the plastic ties and
to the outside face of wall after every
two rows of blocks have been placed.
2) CORNER BLOCKS
Fox Block corners are naturally thicker eliminating
the need to insert Energy Sticks from the corner tie
on. From the last straight tie to the corner tie you will need to wedge the Energy stick in place. A spot of
expanding foam will also help to secure the Energy
Stick from movement.
3) OPENINGS/STACKED SEAMS
Simply cut the Energy Stick to fi t in locations that
are narrower than 8". When larger than 8" use
expanding foam to hold cut Energy Sticks.
4) RANGE OF USE
The Energy Stick will fi t all Fox Blocks.
5) ESTIMATING
3 Energy Sticks for every block ordered.
One box = 36 Energy Sticks
One box of Energy Sticks will fi ll 12 blocks
6) MAN HOURS
Allow 4 minutes per box when inserting for the fi rst
time (= 950 square feet of wall per hour or .001 man
hours per square foot)
7) BUNDLE SIZES
Each box of 36 Energy Sticks = approximately
24" x 24" x 33"
SIZING AND ACTUAL R-VALUE
6" Block + 1 Energy Stick (R-30+*) = 4" Concrete
8" Block + 1 Energy Stick (R-30+*) = 6" Concrete
10" Block + 1 Energy Stick (R-30+*) = 8" Concrete
10" Block + 2 Energy Sticks (R-39+*) = 6" Concrete
12" Block + 1 Energy Stick (R-30+*) = 10" Concrete
12" Block + 2 Energy Sticks (R-39+* = 8" Concrete
12" Block + 3 Energy Sticks (R-48+*) = 6" Concrete
* This represents the overall average wall R-value. As an example in wood frame construction a wall with R-19 batt insulation will have an overall average wall R-value of less than R-16 due to thermal bridging.
The Energy Stick will fi t all Fox Blocks.
3 Energy Sticks for every block ordered.

®
LEDGE
REINFORCEMENT
From foundation to fi nish, the Fox Blocks patented family of products helps you get the job done more effi ciently.
Combining industry feedback with the Fox Blocks product design team creativity, we offer an impressive array of product innovations that benefi t the owner, the contractor, AND the design team.
FOX BLOCKS’ XLERATOR – the only product of its kind in
the industry and fi rst one to meet ACI 318 guidelines – is a patented ICF ledge reinforcement system that offers
unmatched versatile performance ideal for supporting
brick and stone exterior fi nishes, as well as slabs, fl oors and other structural features.
The one-piece, 4-foot long, welded wire reinforcement
piece simply drops into the pre-formed slots in Fox
Blocks’ ledge form.
There’s never been a faster way to meet deadlines
and building code requirements, all while signifi cantly reducing labor costs and delays associated with
pre-bent stirrups or in-fi eld rebar reinforcement.
BENEFITS INCLUDE
• DROP & GO
Fully engineered ledge system allows you to easily
place the ledge form, drop in the xLerator
reinforcement piece and fi ll with concrete.
• ACI 318 COMPLIANT
ONLY xLerator meets ACI 318 guidelines for ICF
ledge reinforcement.
• WEATHER RESISTANT
Hot-dipped galvanized to protect from corrosion for
lasting durability.
• FULLY ENGINEERED
Comes complete with full engineering details for
multiple applications.
• MAXIMUM STRENGTH
Reinforcement in all 6 ledge corbels.
• VERSATILE
One size fi ts both 6" and 8" ledge forms.
WHY HOT-DIPPED GALVANIZED?
Hot-dip galvanization is the process of taking steel and dipping it into molten zinc to serve as a protective
coating. If rebar in a ledge form is NOT galvanized, it’s subject to corrosion because it is placed close to the
outside edge of the brick ledge, sits in a foam slot, and is not completely encased in concrete. This allows water to reach the rebar and causes it to rust. As the rebar rusts, it expands, causes concrete to crack, and undermines
the stability of the ledge.
Since the xLerator is hot-dipped galvanized, it protects the reinforcement from rusting and maintains the integri- ty of the concrete meeting ACI 318 guidelines.
APPLICABLE ACI 318 GUIDELINES
Deformed Welded Wire Reinforcement (WWR)
• Reinforcement in every corbel
• WWR 60,000 PSI Yield Strength
• xLerator meets these guidelines

HV CLIP
Contractors asked for a wire clip to secure their
Fox Blocks jobs together so the team at Fox Blocks
went to work designing one. Fox Blocks ties are
engineered to be perfectly balanced, spaced at
8" o/c Horizontally and Vertically, giving fl at walls post concrete. This allowed us to put all of our design into one wire clip which helps everyone with only one SKU.
Using the Fox Blocks HV Clip
eliminates the need for truss wire
completely on your jobs. The result
is that for about half the cost of the
truss wire you will get a stronger
and straighter job.
The Fox Blocks HV Clip has been
engineered with eight bends allowing
one clip to work horizontally or vertically.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN . INSTALLATION & DESIGN APPLICATIONS 1.02.05 Standards for Plumbness Tolerances
Fox Blocks are a modular system of stay-in-place insulating concrete forms. The forms interlocks as the wall is built and by using an ICF specific alignment and bracing systems, during and after concrete placement, the walls can be aligned to be plumb and straight to string lines and laser levels.
When constructing the cast-in-place concrete Fox Blocks walls, the walls must be built within certain construction tolerances to be straight, plumb and level. These tolerances may be found in the construction documents, codes, or relevant standards. The following ACI references are for information and may be used as a guide for maintaining a plumb wall:
ACI 318 – Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (Does not specifically address tolerances other than saying walls to be true, square and plumb.)
ACI 347 – Guide to Formwork for Concrete
• 7.4.1 Permanent forms – nothing
• 3.3.1 Tolerances – References ACI 117
ACI 117 – Specifications for Tolerances for Concrete
Construction and Materials
• 4.1.1.1.1 Deviation from plumb – for heights less than or equal to 83'-4" the lesser of 0.3% (0.003) times the height above the top of foundation or +/- 1".
(This is a reference standard only and not part of the building code and therefore not mandatory unless it is referenced in the construction documents.)
The engineer-architect of record may accept the element if it meets one of the following criteria:
a. Exceeding the tolerances does not affect the structural integrity, legal boundaries, or architectural requirements b. The element or total assembly can be modified to meet all structural and architectural requirements
For any walls that are deemed unacceptably out of tolerance for a finish application, either exterior of interior, the EPS panels 5/8" thick to face of fastening strip) may be rasped down to meet provide an acceptable surface tolerance.
Fox Blocks maintains a quality control standard
for the manufacturing of the blocks, which
is monitored by a certified third-party
testing laboratory.
Fox Blocks walls for tall walls, gymnasiums and
theaters have been built from 18' to 40' height.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN . SPECIFICATIONS & STANDARDS 1.04.01 Standards & Building Codes
The ICF industry over the last decade has successfully completed major steps in the testing and evaluation of the components and wall assembly attributes for insulated concrete forms.
Working with the International Code Council - Evaluation Services (ICC-ES) and the Canadian Construction Materials Council (CCMC), standards and acceptance criteria have been established to test and evaluate ICFs to meet building codes. This has resulted in ICFs being specifically recognized in the building and energy codes across North America.
Fox Blocks and the ICF industry, in co-ordination with the ICC-ES, ASTM and ULC have developed standards for the manufacturing and design of flat wall ICFs. These standards are now recognized in building codes and must be included in the evaluations process for product approval.
The ICC-ES has also developed a list of Acceptance Criteria, to meet code compliance, for the materials used in the manufacturing of an ICF, plus the characteristic requirements for the application of ICFs in all building types.
Fox Blocks maintains a comprehensive list of third party certified lab testing to demonstrate compliance to these standards, acceptance criteria and building codes. The main compliance report has been developed by Intertek – CCRR-1010. The manufacturing of all products is monitored by a quality control program with inspections conducted by Intertek Testing Services to be in compliance to ICC -ES requirements.
These main standards or acceptance criteria for Fox Blocks ICFs code compliance are:
• AC353 – Acceptance Criteria for Stay-in-place, foam Plastic Insulating Form systems for Solid Concrete Walls • ASTM E2634-11 - Standard for Flat Wall ICF Systems
• Can/ULC S717.1-12 – Standard for Flat Wall ICF Units
Within these standards are testing requirements that are required to be successfully completed to show compliance for various aspect of the building code, some of these are shown below:
• Fire, ignition and smoke
• Form capacity for hydrostatic pressure
• Tensile and shear strength of the ties
• Lateral and shear capacity or the ties for fasteners
• Structural design criteria
• Fire resistance ratings
• Air and vapor characteristics
• Thermal resistance
The ICC- IBC recognizes ICFs are a forming system for reinforced concrete walls following ACI 318 concrete design criteria The ICC- IBC recognizes ICFs specifically in these sections R404 and R611.
The IECC recognizes ICFs as mass walls and as an integral part of a whole wall assembly utilizing the U-factor.
Fox Blocks is an approved product and code compliant across North America, to be designed and utilized on any building type from foundation to any height.
Fox Blocks Code Compliance Report
CCRR-1010 is available in the Resource
Center at www.foxblocks.com.

Skin: Hot material may cause skin burns. Immerse skin covered with hot material in cool water to limit tissue damage and prevent spread of liquid material.
Symptoms may not appear immediately. In case of accident or if you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately.
SECTION 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Do not use solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Special Hazards Arising from the Combustion may produce hazardous decomposition products and other Substance or Mixture decomposition products in the case of incomplete combustion. These may include simple hydrocarbons to toxic and irritating gases such as carbon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, styrene, acids, ketones, and aldehydes. Material is a solid containing an extremely flammable liquid and vapor. Material will burn on contact with flame or exposure to high temperature. Hazardous melting and dropping may occur at elevated temperatures. Explosion hazard if exposed to extreme heat. This material releases a flammable blowing agent. Extremely flammable vapors form flammable or explosive mixtures with air at room temperature. Vapor or gas may spread to distant ignition sources and flash back. Eliminate ignition sources (including static spark) and prevent vapor accumulation. This material, as produced and not in its finely divided form as dust, is not explosive as defined by established regulatory criteria. When in its finely divided form as dust, this material presents an explosion hazard when dispersed in a confined area and ignited in air. Risk of dust-air explosion is increased if flammable vapors are present. This material may accumulate static charge which can cause an electrical spark (ignition source) in some cases. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN . CONCRETE & REINFORCEMENT 1.06.01 Concrete Design & Placement
Fox Blocks forms are designed, tested and approved as formwork for reinforced concrete. Following the specification for a concrete mix design and manufacturers recommendations for consolidation will results in a safe and successful build.
CONCRETE MIX DESIGN
One of the most important aspects of concrete placement is the proper concrete mix design. Proper concrete mix will save time on labor, facilitate concrete consolidation and ensure a successful Fox Blocks wall pour.
Concrete mix can vary from region to region throughout the country because the raw materials differ from region to region. There are many factors that govern the design of the concrete mix:
• Structural Design Requirements
• Temperature
• Water Content
• Additives
• Delivery Times
• Placement Methods (Typically by a Concrete Pump)
Therefore, the contractor must work closely with the local concrete supplier and inform the supplier that the concrete mix design will be placed in an ICF wall system.
Fox Blocks provides concrete specifications and mix guidelines, and the local ready-mix supplier will provide the specific mix design following these specifications, dependent on the local environmental requirements in your area. Additional admixtures such as fly ash, plasticizers and super plasticizers may be added to increase the workability and concrete flow. The contractors should be experienced and knowledgeable about any additives and how they will impact the placement and curing times.
CONCRETE MIX GUIDELINES
The following concrete mix guidelines must be conveyed to the concrete supplier:
• Compressive Strength
• Aggregate Size
• Slump
Cutting corners on the concrete mix can
add cost and problems when you place the
concrete into the Fox walls.
In most areas, Ready Mix Concrete
suppliers are familiar with ICFs and
have a specific ICF mix design.
Fox Blocks insulate the concrete in cold
weather permitting the placement of
concrete in winter temperatures with
supplemental heating. Refer to Technical
Bulletin 1.06.01 Cold Weather Concrete.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN . CONCRETE & REINFORCEMENT 1.06.01 Concrete Design & Placement
Concrete Compressive Strength
The 28-day compressive strength of the concrete must be specified to meet the strength used in the design of the Fox Blocks walls.
The minimum strength that should be specified is 2,500 psi (17 MPa).
A slightly higher compressive strength of 3,000 to 4,000 psi (20 to 30 MPa) can help the flowability and pumpability of the concrete and provide additional strength to the walls with minimal or no additional costs.
Compressive Strength Chart for ICFs
Concrete Aggregate
It is recommended that the aggregate used in the concrete design for Fox Blocks forms follow these specifications.
Fox Blocks
Form 4" Form 6" Form 8" Form 10" & 12"
Form
Aggregate
Size
3/8" 3/8" - ½" ½" - ¾" ¾"
Using a larger aggregate size, than specified in the 4" and 6" forms, may cause congestion between the form wall and the reinforcement resulting in voids. When using various size forms on a project ensure the aggregate in the mix design is compatible to the small form size.
Slump
The proper slump allows the concrete to flow and be pumped at an efficient rate. A normal slump for Fox Blocks forms is 5" to 6" which is higher than a concrete mix for a floor, which may be at a 3" slump.
The characteristics of ICFs provide a very
high early compressive strength to the
concrete and continued high strength.
Refer to a Fox Blocks Technical
Representative before using a
self-consolidating concrete mix design.
Additional water, added to mix on-site,
will reduce the compressive strength of
the concrete and affect the water to
cement ratio.

• Lower slumps can create voids and honeycombing in the walls, plus may damage the forms during placement.
• Higher slumps create more hydrostatic pressure within the wall that may cause damage to the forms.

CONCRETE PLACEMENT RATES
The speed of concrete placement has many variables that must be considered prior to initiating placement of the concrete in the cavity of a Fox Blocks wall. These variables may be:
• Linear Length of Wall
• Wall Height
• Concrete Volume
• Temperature
• Weather
• Manpower
The one uncontrollable factor is weather and temperature.
Temperature influences the flow rate for concrete placement.
The American Concrete Institute has developed tables related to concrete placement rates at specific temperatures. Pour rates in the Pre-plan the placement of concrete and

Placement
Fox Blocks builders have found that using an overhead boom pump is the most efficient way to place the concrete in the ICF walls. When using the overhead boom pump, it is important to slow the velocity of the concrete by reducing the diameter of the hose near the end of the line. Avoid using heavyweight metal devices near the end of the hose.
The concrete is placed in 4 foot (1.22 m) lifts to ensure proper consolidation. If more than one pour (i.e. a multi-story project) is required, the walls are typically planned to be placed one story at a time. Placement is recommended to begin in the center of a wall and proceed around the perimeter of the project.
Concrete should be placed below every window opening through the opening left in the sill of the window buck.
Fox Block walls must be checked to ensure walls are plumb, square and straight before, during and after the concrete is placed.
Refer to Technical Bulletin 1.06.02 Concrete
Placement - Lift and Fall Heights
Placement of concrete from the top of the
wall is not an issue for aggregate separation.
Avoid placing concrete directly into corner
forms, concrete should flow into the corners.
Refer to Technical Bulletin 1.06.03 Concrete
Placement in Corner Forms.
In cold weather (freezing or below) always
protect the top of walls and/or any exposed
concrete areas with temporary insulation
or insulated tarps.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN . CONCRETE & REINFORCEMENT 1.06.01 Concrete Design & Placement
CONCRETE CONSOLIDATION
The first step towards ensuring a well consolidated solid concrete wall is having the correct slump for a good flowable concrete mix.
To prevent voids and honeycombing and ensuring solid contact is made with the reinforcement bars, it is very important to consolidate the concrete. While ICF professionals often employ various methods to accomplish this, Fox Blocks recommends using an internal vibration method.
Consolidation should directly follow the placement of the concrete, continuously around the perimeter of the wall.
Internal vibration can be used with a light-duty pencil vibrator.
The wand should not be greater than 1" (25.4 mm) in diameter.
When vibrating the wall internally, always keep the vibrator moving fast in and slow out.
Refer to Technical Bulletin
1.06.05 Concrete Consolidation
Consolidate concrete during each lift,
following the person placing the concrete.
Extend the vibrator into the lift below,
in order to blend the two lifts and avoid
any cold joints.
Always vibrate around openings to
ensure good consolidation around
the reinforcement.
Prior to concrete placement ensure vibrator
is in working order and can reach every wall.
Tools for externally consolidation may
be used, but it is recommended to vibrate
on both sides of the wall.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN . CONCRETE & REINFORCEMENT 1.06.02 Concrete Placement – Lift and
Fall Heights
The placement of concrete in Fox Blocks needs to follow the recommended procedures for flow rates, lifts heights, and consolidation, plus the specifications for concrete design mix, slump and aggregate size. All of these aspects are specific to the design and placement of concrete in an ICF wall, and vary from the specifications for regular concrete forming systems.
Concrete design and placement, fall heights, lift heights, and consolidation are all details that must be considered individually to work together for a successful Fox Blocks build. In reality, these are all independent issues that must each be considered individually for a Fox Blocks build.
CONCRETE PLACEMENT RATE
The speed or flow rate at which concrete is placed has many variables that must be considered prior to placement. For example:
• Linear Length
• Height of Wall
• Temperature
• Concrete Mix
• Placement Method
• Available Manpower
• Overall Time From Start to Finish.
Pre-planning is essential for a successful placement.
Prior to placement to concrete refer to the Fox Blocks Installation Checklist 1.02.01
Refer to Technical Bulletin 1.06.01 Concrete

TECHNICAL BULLETIN . CONCRETE & REINFORCEMENT 1.06.02 Concrete Placement – Lift and
Fall Heights
CONCRETE PLACEMENT LIFT HEIGHTS
Concrete placement is recommended in 4 feet lift heights. This does not mean that the concrete cannot be placed greater than 4 feet in height. The concrete is typically placed in a continuous operation in multiple lifts - two, three or four lifts, by making continuous passes around the perimeter or section of the wall to achieve the full height required.
In typical residential construction, concrete is commonly placed in a wall to a maximum of 10 to 12 feet in height during one concrete pour.
This is done in multiple lifts of around 4 feet or less. In commercial construction walls may be higher -14 to 18 feet. These walls also have the concrete placement in multiple lifts following the same procedure.
This placement method is a standard practice in the ICF industry.
The 4 foot lift height is a recommendation, as a guideline, to minimize liquid concrete hydrostatic pressure on the forms and to avoid exceeding the formwork’s designed capacity. This method allows the lower lift of concrete to begin setting up, providing support to the next lift as concrete is placed in the full wall.
Consolidation is required in every lift to eliminate any honeycombing or voids and blend the lifts to eliminate cold joints in the wall.
Form Pressure Gradient
Form Pressure Lift
In the planning of placement lift heights,
the top lift should be a minimum of
2 feet or more.

Fall Heights
CONCRETE FALL HEIGHTS
A structural engineer, a specifier, or an inspector may want to limit the maximum free fall height of concrete placement with the intent to prevent segregation. Concrete placement operations in a Fox Blocks wall are planned to allow for the free fall of concrete from the top of the formwork. The concrete mix design with a high slump of 5" to 6" is advantageous for the specified fall heights in a Fox Blocks wall assembly.
The American Concrete Institute (ACI) does not directly address the height of concrete placement. Neither ACI 301, “Specifications for Structural Concrete,” nor ACI 318 “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete,” limits the maximum distance concrete can free fall. Field studies have shown that free fall from great distances does not reduce concrete quality or compressive strength.
In the specification notes to owner’s representative, ACI 336 states that recent research on free-fall concrete has confirmed that free fall does not cause segregation, at least for fall heights up to 60 feet.
The American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC) has written a Position Statement #17 addressing the free fall of concrete. At least four field studies have shown that free fall from great distances does not reduce concrete quality. The ASCC position statement goes on to state that although the field studies have been for caissons, the results should also apply to other structural elements such as walls, columns, and mat foundations.
ASCC references a 1994 FHWA study the provided test data leading the investigators to conclude that “the general expectation that concrete striking of the rebar cage will cause segregation or weakened concrete is invalid and they found “no segregation or strength differences between low and high slump concrete mixtures.” Fox Blocks recommends placing concrete, with Fox Blocks specified mix design and slump, following ACI standards and safety factors in lifts as detailed. Typically, the concrete fall height for a Fox Blocks wall would be 9' to 12' + high, is some commercial applications the fall height may 16' +.
Bruce Suprenant, article “Free Fall of
Concrete” June 2001, Concrete International
Magazine summarizes many of the findings
discussed in this technical brief.
Restricting free-fall heights, decreases
concrete production rates, which
increases owners’ costs without
increasing concrete quality.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN . CONCRETE & REINFORCEMENT 1.06.02 Concrete Placement – Lift and
Fall Heights
The placement of concrete in Fox Blocks needs to follow the recommended procedures for flow rates, lifts heights, and consolidation, plus the specifications for concrete design mix, slump and aggregate size. All of these aspects are specific to the design and placement of concrete in an ICF wall, and vary from the specifications for regular concrete forming systems.
Concrete design and placement, fall heights, lift heights, and consolidation are all details that must be considered individually to work together for a successful Fox Blocks build. In reality, these are all independent issues that must each be considered individually for a Fox Blocks build.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN . BUILDING SCIENCE: AIR, MOISTURE, VAPOR, & SOUND 1.12.03 Water (Weather) Resistive Barrier
GENERAL OVERVIEW
Building codes specify that exterior walls require a weather resistant exterior wall envelope that is designed and constructed to prevent the accumulation of water within the wall assembly. The exterior wall has a finishing material or veneer that is the first layer of protection, but the codes require a secondary, specific layer or membrane as a water (weather)-resistive barrier (WRB) to provide continuous protection for the envelope.
The intended purpose of a specifically designed membrane as a WRB is to prevent water and/or to resist water and air from penetrating the envelope. In cavity wall construction (wood or steel framing), any breach that allows exterior water in the cavity will result in the deterioration of the assembly.
FOX BLOCKS TESTING
A Fox Blocks wall assembly is comprised of an exterior and interior layer of continuous EPS insulation (25/8" thick each side) over a monolithic concrete core. In all applications the exterior face of the ICF wall assembly is covered with some form of exterior finish, which is either directly applied over the EPS to the Fox Blocks fastening strips or installed as veneer, like brick and masonry.
Fox Blocks third party testing, per ASTM E2634 and ASTM E331, for water tightness under a specified pressure differential and a water spray rate of a least 8" of rain per hour for 2 hours resulted in no water leakage.
Another test for air tightness ASTM E283 tabled that the Fox Blocks wall assembly bested code minimum requires for air infiltration.
FOX BLOCKS ADVANTAGE
A Fox Blocks wall assembly is not classified as a cavity wall type of construction but is recognized as a mass wall assembly. The materials - EPS and concrete, are not prone to any degradation in performance or deterioration from any possible water or moisture intrusion from the exterior or interior.
Fox Blocks EPS does not absorb water or moisture and will not degrade as part of a finished wall assembly. Any water or moisture that would possibly penetrates the exterior finish will drain down the face of the EPS layer. All openings require perimeter flashing installed on all sides.

TECHNICAL BULLETIN . BUILDING SCIENCE: AIR, MOISTURE, VAPOR, & SOUND 1.12.03 Water (Weather) Resistive Barrier
Third party testing has shown that the Fox Blocks wall assembly itself provides a water and air resistive barrier.
No additional WRB membrane is required over a
Fox Blocks wall assembly.
In the applications of some exterior finishes, that provide a warranty, the application of a WRB may be required to satisfy the warranty. In most applications over a Fox Blocks wall assembly this may not be required. Check with product manufacture.

Concrete Pre-Placement Checklist
PRE-PLACEMENT OF CONCRETE PROCEDURES
Prior to placing concrete, it is very important to follow a checklist to ensure everything has been installed correctly, walls are supported, strapped as required and the crew is ready. Once you begin to place concrete you are committed to keep going without distractions until the concrete placement is to the desired height.
The following is an enhancement of the Fox Blocks Installation Checklist and is recommended to be reviewed prior to placing concrete:
PRE-PLACEMENT CHECKLIST:
Review weather for favorable forecast on placement day
Follow correct procedures for above normal hot or cold weather concrete placement
Is site clear and prepared for concrete trucks and pump truck Does rebar installation require inspection approval prior to concrete placement
Check concrete volumes, set delivery times and co-ordinate lead time for pump truck set-up
Ensure the pump boom is safe from overhead hazards and the boom can reach all the walls
Establish with pump truck operator concrete placement direction, lift heights, speed of placement and co-ordinate communication signals
Does pumptruck have a reducer
Review all wall dimensions per plan requirements
Has additional support and strapping been installed at stacked joints, any laps 8” or less, or where required (both sides of wall if required)
Is rebar installed per plans and specifications in correct locations to top of wall
Do all the lintels over openings have the specified reinforcing and, if needed, stirrups installed
Check alignment/bracing is secure and the scaffold planks provide a clear, continuous and safe walkway around the whole perimeter for all walls
Are all opening bucks supported and is the sill open for concrete placement
If wood bucks are used, is there proper anchorage into the concrete
Embedments, anchor bolts and floor system connectors installed and ready to be set in concrete
Print and use this Fox Blocks checklist
and have all members of the crew be
aware of the checks.
Refer to the following checklists:
1.02.01 Fox Blocks Installation Checklist
1.14.05 Step by Step Project Checklist
1.14.07 Concrete Post Placement Checklist
Keys to a successful concrete placement is
pre-planning and having everyone involved
understand methods and procedures.
Ensure your concrete volumes and order
is adequate, co-ordinate the timelines in
ordering material, pump truck requirements.
Plan crew time allocations for concrete
placement, consolidation and clean-up.
Cold joints are not permitted in foundation
walls supporting backfill.

If block will continue, Is the top block interlock protected with tape, from concrete spillage
Check interior of wall cavity is clear of any debris, snow or ice Are dowels or anchor bolts ready for wet set installation into top of wall for cold joint or sill plate
Are concrete tools ready – towel, check vibrator, batteries or extension cords
Check that vibrator can reach all walls
Have materials ready in the event of a problems – buckets, shovels, screws, drill, and plywood
Review tasks with crew members, who is doing what during concrete placement and consolidation, plus safety procedures Have gloves and eye protection for crew members installing and consolidating concrete
Walk around the project, inside and outside, to view both sides of every wall to make sure everything is ready
Check that the concrete mix meets specs for strength, slump and aggregate size
SUMMARY
This checklist should become a best practice procedure before any concrete is placed. The more attention to these details means fewer problems, better efficiency and a safer build during this busy stage of placing and consolidating concrete in the Fox Blocks wall assemblies.

Expansion of Wetted Plywood and OSB Panels
STRUCTURE magazine March 200538
from experience
By Felix Martin, S.E.
Winter’s rains provides the opportunity
to examine problems caused by expansion
of OSB and plywood wood panels due
to excessive moisture. Design engineers
tend to think of the structure as a
finished product and sometimes give little
attention to structural problems that may
arise in the construction process.
With flat roofs (or floors exposed to
weather), during extended periods of
exposure to rain, wood sheathing that
has not been roofed or covered has an
opportunity to be kept constantly wet.
Once this happens water will be absorbed
by the sheathing, resulting in thickness
swell and linear expansion of the sheets.
Concern has typically been focused on
increases in the thickness of the panel. In
plywood sheets, as the panel expands in
thickness, nail heads are pulled through
and, in extreme cases, punch through the
top ply, rendering the panel useless in
shear. Moisture penetration in plywood
panels can also lead to delamination of
the plies, despite the widespread
use of exterior grade glues.
In the case of Oriented Strand Board
(OSB), thickness swell primarily occurs
along panel edges. This is because of
capillary action at end grain fibers,
although OSB panels are typically surface
and end sealed. OSB also tends to larger
thickness swells than plywood, due to the
use of a more porous wood product and
to the release of compression set from
the panel manufacturing process. Once
the panel thickness has been expanded
by wetness, when back to its original
moisture content, it will not completely
return to its original thickness.
However, because of the multi-layered
and random direction of the wood chips,
there is a smaller chance for total nail head
punch-through in OSB than plywood.
An American Plywood Association (APA)
publication (TT-012) provides a suggested
guideline for determining whether the
shear capacity of a wood diaphragm has
been compromised by buried nail heads
caused by either overdriving or thickness
swell due to moisture. The publication
does not address OSB and plywood
separately, although nail heads can
penetrate completely through the face
layer of three-ply plywood. OSB really
has no definable face layer.
In 1985 the APA performed a series
of tests on the effect of wetting OSB
shear wall panels (test results were not
published by the APA). The research
involved performing static load tests on
six 7/16-inch thick shear wall panels.
Three panels were tested dry. The
remaining three panels were wetted by
placing them in an almost horizontal
position and using a sprinkler to spray the
sheathing approximately eight hours per
day for three consecutive days. The walls
were then allowed to dry approximately
two weeks and tested.
The wetted walls had an average final
moisture content of 4-5 % after drying,
versus an average moisture content of 3-
4% for the walls not wetted. The wetted
walls showed a slight decrease in ultimate
load capacity when compared with the
dry walls. They also had increases in total
deflection and permanent (residual) set.
The decrease in ultimate load capacity
plus the increases in total deflection
and set were judged by the APA as
insignificant enough to conclude that
wetting of OSB shear walls, such as by
rainfall during construction, did not
adversely affect the strength of the walls.
These test results may be extended
to horizontal diaphragms to similarly
conclude that extended exposure to
wetting of OSB horizontal diaphragms
will not adversely affect the strength of
those diaphragms.
A concern not usually taken into account
is the linear expansion of the panel length
and width due to moisture infiltration.
Some of this expansion is taken up
through partial restraint crushing along
the fasteners and by panel end crushing;
some is taken by allowing a small gap
between sheets during installation.
OSB sheets come factory-cut to
allow a 1/8-inch installation gap in
both directions. The typical installation
procedure used by experienced framing
contractors is to drop 16d nails between
the wood panels. Because 16d nails are
approximately 1/8-inch in diameter, this
provides a method of automatic spacing
between panels.
T esting by the APA (Publication TT-
028) has shown that wetted plywood/
OSB panels will expand a maximum
of 3-inch in the long direction and
3/16-inch in the short direction. The
APA test took the panels from an oven
dry condition to complete saturation,
conditions not normally encountered
in the field where variations in moisture
content are not so extreme. Using the
APA extreme linear expansion values, for
an eighty foot long roof, assuming a 3-
inch linear expansion per eight foot panel
length, an average 1/8-inch gap between
sheets and an average 1/8-inch fastener/
end crushing per panel, would result in a
net linear lengthening of the roof of zero.
However, personal experience has
suggested field net linear expansion
values may be larger than those calculated
above. This may have been due partially
to installation procedures that may have
placed the panels without the 1/8-inch
gap between sheets, although this alone
would not account for the extent of
the discrepancies observed. The APA
acknowledges the potential problem in
Research Report 144, by addressing the
buckling potential of structural panels
resulting from linear expansion. Buckling
of panels from linear expansion is more
likely to occur in structures restrained
from lateral expansion.
A net linear expansion in laterally
unrestrained diaphragms is the type of
thing that pulls walls and columns out of
plumb. This is more likely to happen if the
linear expansion occurs in construction
when the shear walls may not yet be in
place; or if one end of the building is
laterally restrained and the other end is
free to expand. Once linear expansion has
taken place, as explained before, it will
not completely shrink back to its original
dimensions when the sheets dry again. In
other words, walls and columns stay out
of plumb and may have to be forced to
their original state through expensive and
time-consuming mechanical means.

swells than plywood,...”

For Advertiser Information, visit www.structuremag.org It is important to recognize damage
due to linear expansion once it occurs,
as problems associated with it can be
easily misdiagnosed. Damage may
first be observed in walls and columns
previously installed plumb. These may
be subsequently observed to be out-of-
plumb following exposure of the roof
plywood to rain days to a few weeks prior.
Positive proof that linear expansion has
taken place may be found in tight-fitting
horizontal panels with crushed edges.
This will indicate panel expansion has
taken place, with no available expansion
relief possible.
Moisture exposure is not limited to
areas of high rainfall. Where the con-
scientious contractor covers the sheath-
ing with plastic, the sheathing may be
soaked continuously over an extended
period of time even in low moisture areas.
Though the plastic keeps moisture away
for short periods of time, rain lasting a
few days water will leak in along joints
or tears in the plastic. Moisture will then
be retained by the very plastic intended
to keep it out.
The APA has in the past espoused the
use of expansion joints in wood sheathed
roofs and floors over eighty feet in length.
A temporary expansion joint may be used
in the middle field of a long roof when
extended periods of moisture are expect-
ed or just simply included as a general
specification for roof lengths eighty
feet and beyond. Once the horizontal
sheathing is ready to be waterproofed,
the “fill-in” panels can be installed just
before roofing is applied.
Although not specifically a design
concern, the potential problems associ-
ated with thickness swell and linear ex-
pansion due to moisture intrusion during
construction are worth considering by
the design engineer. The inclusion of
temporary expansion joints for long
roofs or for wet weather may well avoid
the possibility of frantic field calls, con-
struction delays and expensive repairs.
Anything done to assist a project to be
trouble-free during construction is usually
time well spent.▪

SPECIFICATION COMMENTARY
SPECIFICATION FOR TOLERANCES FOR CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS (ACI 117-10) AND COMMENTARY 3 American Concrete Institute Copyrighted Material—www.concrete.org
INTRODUCTION
This commentary pertains to “Specifications for Tolerances for Concrete Construction and Materials (ACI 117-10).”
The purpose of the commentary is to provide an illustrative and narrative complement to the specification; it is not a part of the specification.
No structure is exactly level, plumb, straight, and true.
Tolerances are a means to esta blish permissible variation in dimension and location, giving both the designer and the contractor limits within which the work is to be performed.
They are the means by which the designer conveys to the contractor the performance expectations upon which the
design is based or that the project requires. Such specified tolerances should reflect design assumptions and project needs, being neither overly restrictive nor lenient.
Necessity rather than desirability should be the basis of selecting tolerances.
As the title “Specifications for Tolerances for Concrete Construction and Materials (ACI 117)” implies, the toler- ances given are standard or us ual tolerances that apply to various types and uses of conc rete construction. They are based on normal needs and common construction tech-
niques and practices. Specified tolerances at variance with the standard values can cause both increases and decreases in the cost of construction.
Economic feasibility—The specified degree of accuracy has a direct impact on the cost of production and the construction method. In general, the higher degree of construction
accuracy required, the higher the construction cost, and the lower the degree of construction accuracy, the higher the cost of required repairs.
Relationship of all components —The required degree of
accuracy of individual parts can be influenced by adjacent units and materials, joint and connection details, and the possibility of the accumulation of tolera nces in critical dimensions.
Construction techniques —The feasibility of a tolerance depends on available craftsmanship, technology, materials, and project management.
Compatibility—Designers are cautioned to use finish and architectural details that are compatible with the type and anticipated method of construction. The finish and archi- tectural details used should be compatible with achievable concrete tolerances.

SPECIFICATION COMMENTARY
SPECIFICATION FOR TOLERANCES FOR CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS (ACI 117-10) AND COMMENTARY 5 American Concrete Institute Copyrighted Material—www.concrete.org
1.1—Scope
1.1.1 This specification designates standard tolerances for concrete construction.
1.1.2 The indicated tolerances govern unless other-
wise specified.
Tolerances in this specification are for typical concrete construction and construction procedures and are appli- cable to exposed concrete and to architectural concrete.
Materials that interface with or connect to concrete
elements may have tolerance requirements that are not
compatible with those contained in this document.
This specification does not apply to specialized
structures, such as nuclear reactors and containment
vessels, bins, prestressed circular structures, and
single-family residential c onstruction. It also does not apply to precast concrete or to shotcrete.
Tolerances for specialized concrete construction that
is outside the scope of this specification shall be
specified in Contract Documents.
1.1.3 A series of preconstruction tolerance coordina-
tion meetings shall be scheduled and held prior to the
commencement of the Work. The Contractor,
subcontractors, material suppliers, and other key
parties shall attend. All pa rties shall be given the
opportunity to identify any tolerance questions and
conflicts that are applicable to the work with materials, prefabricated elements, and Work assembled/installed
in the field by the Contractor.
1.2—Requirements
1.2.1 Concrete construction and materials shall
comply with specified tolerances.
SECTION 1—GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
R1.1—Scope
R1.1.2 Specification of more restrictive tolerances for specialized construction, such as architectural concrete, often results in an increase in material cost and time of construction.
R1.1.3 Preconstruction tolerance coordination meetings
provide an opportunity for key participants to identify and to resolve tolerance compatibility issues prior to construction.
R1.2—Requirements
An example of a specific application that uses a multiple of toleranced items that together yield a toleranced result is the location of the face of a concrete wall. The wall has a toler- ance on location (Section 4.2.1), measured at the foundation of the wall, and is allowed to deviate from the specified plane (Sections 4.1 and 4.8.2). The application of the location tolerance (Section 4.2.1) cannot be used to increase the plumb tolerance contained in Section 4.1. Similarly, the tolerance on member thickness (Section 4.5) shall not be allowed to increase the tolerance envelope resulting from the application of Sections 4.1, 4.2.1, and 4.8.2. If the base of the wall is incorrectly located by the maximum amount allowed by Section 4.2.1, then the plumb tolerance (Section 4.1) dictates that the face of the wall move back toward the correct location, and at a rate that does not exceed the provisions of Section 4.8.2. Refer to Fig. R1.2.3.

1.2.2 Tolerances shall not extend the structure beyond
legal boundaries. Tolerances are measured from the
points, lines, and surfaces defined in Contract Docu-
ments. If application of tolerances causes the extension of the structure beyond legal boundaries, the tolerance must be reduced.
1.2.3 Tolerances are not cumulative. The most restrictive tolerance controls.
R1.2.2 If the application of tole rances causes the extension of the structure beyond legal boundaries, the Architect/ Engineer should be notified to initiate conflict resolution.
Fig. R1.2.3—Use of multiple of toleranced items to yield toleranced result.
R1.2.3 Accumulations of individual tolerances on a single item should not be used to increase an established tolerance.
Individual tolerances are unique to their specific application and should not be combined with other tolerances to form a tolerance envelope. The separately specified tolerances must remain separate and not cumulative.
Each tolerance stands alone when evaluating the accept- ability of concrete construction. Refer to Fig. R1.2.3.
1.2.4 Plus (+) tolerance increases the amount or
dimension to which it applies, or raises a deviation
from level. Minus (–) tolerance decreases the amount
or dimension to which it app lies, or lowers a deviation from level. Where only one signed tolerance is speci-
fied (+ or –), there is no specified tolerance in the
opposing direction.

10 SPECIFICATION FOR TOLERANCES FOR CONCRETE CONSTR UCTION AND MATERIALS (ACI 117-10) AND COMMENTARY
SPECIFICATION COMMENTARY
American Concrete Institute Copyrighted Material—www.concrete.org flatness—deviation of a surface from a plane.
footing—a structural element of a foundation that
transmits loads directly to the soil.
foundation—a system of structural elements that
transmit loads from the structure above to the earth.
levelness—deviation of a line or surface from a hori-
zontal line or surface.
Project Drawings —graphic presentation of project
requirements.
Project Specification —the written document that
details requirements for th e Work in accordance with
service parameters and other specific criteria.
tolerance—the permitted deviation from a specified
dimension, location, or quantity.
Work—the entire construction or separately identifiable parts thereof required to be furnished under Contract
Documents.
Vertical deviation, horizontal deviation, and deviation from plumb are individually used to establish a tolerance envelope for each deviation type within which permissible variations can occur. Deviation from plan e is used to determine the rate of change of adjacent points (slope tolerance) occurring within the tolerance envelope. In this fashion, the slope and smoothness of surfaces and lines within a tolerance envelope are controlled. Abrupt changes such as offsets, saw-toothing, and sloping of lines and surf aces properly located within a tolerance envelope may be objectionable for exposed
concrete. The acceptable relati ve alignment of points on a surface or line is determined by using a slope tolerance.
Effective use of a slope tolerance requires that the specific distance over which the slope is to be measured is estab- lished, and that the measurem ent device only contacts the surface at this specific distance.
flatness—refer to Fig. R1.3.8.

R2.2.4 and R2.2.5 The spacing tolerance of reinforcement consists of an envelope with an absolute limitation on one side of the envelope determined by the limit on the reduction in distance between reinforcement. In addition, the allowable tolerance on spacing should not cause a reduction in the specified number of reinforc ing bars used. Designers are cautioned that selecting a beam width that exactly meets their design requirements may not allow for reinforcement placement tolerance. This sometimes happens when lap-
spliced bars take up extra space and cannot accommodate the placement tolerance. Where reinforcement quantities and available space are in conflict with spacing require- ments of these sections, the Contractor and designer might consider bundling a portion of the reinforcement. Bundling of bars requires approval of the designer. Refer to Fig. R2.2.4(a) to (e) and R2.2.5.

R2.5.1 Where the specification has specified slump as
a maximum, the Project Specifications should provide
for one addition of water at the job site for slump
adjustment, per ASTM C94/C94M, Section 6.
Concrete slump should include a tolerance that allows
for both plus or minus deviations so that concrete
slumps are not underdesigned to avoid rejection. The
water added at the job site should be within the water- cementitious material ratio (w /cm) limitations of the
specifications or approved mixture proportions.
Flowing concrete achieved by the incorporation of
high-range water-reducing admixtures (HRWRAs)
(also called superplasticizers) are regularly used at
specified slumps of 7-1/2 in. or greater. In addition, it is difficult to measure high slumps accurately.
Consideration should be given to eliminating a
maximum slump when a HRWRA is used to achieve
flowing concrete. When HRWRAs are used, concrete
slump should be specified for the concrete mixture
prior to the addition of the HRWRA.
The slump specified should always be evaluated to
determine if it is suitable for delivery, placing, and
reinforcement clearance.

R4.4.1 The top elevation for slab s on structural steel or precast concrete will be determined by elevation of the supporting steel or precast concrete, plus or minus variations in slab thickness, as specified in Section 4.5.3. In situations where this procedure may result in unsatisfactory slab eleva- tions (for example, unshored beams that deflect or
supporting steel or precast se t with large deviations from specified elevation), the Arch itect/Engineer should specify, or the contractors involved should agree on, a satisfactory procedure. The concrete floo ring contractor cannot control elevations of steel or precast concrete members upon which concrete slabs are cast. In the instance of slabs cast on metal deck, there is also a practical limitation on the increase of slab thickness to accommodate differential elevations or deflections. If the Specifier requ ires the concrete slab to be placed level on deflecting or cambered supporting steel or precast, the plus tolerance is likely to be exceeded.

R4.4.5 The elevation of the soil upon which a slab-on-

The intent of establishing an elevation tolerance of ±3/4 in. for fine grading below slabs-on-ground is to provide an environment in which a slab-on-ground installation can successfully comply with the thickness requirements established in Section 4.5.4. If more stringent tolerance requirements are deemed necessary by the Specifier, consider a fine grade elevation tolerance of ±1/2 in. This tolerance is reasonable for industrial applications because more sophisticated eq uipment is normally used to establish the fine grade elevation and because of the
performance requirements for industrial slabs.

36 SPECIFICATION FOR TOLERANCES FOR CONCRETE CONSTR UCTION AND MATERIALS (ACI 117-10) AND COMMENTARY
SPECIFICATION COMMENTARY
American Concrete Institute Copyrighted Material—www.concrete.org R4.5.3 Suspended (elevated) slabs require only that a tolerance for elevation and cross-sectional dimension be established.
Thickness of suspended slabs is of primary concern because insurance carriers establish a fire rating of the structure, depending on the occupancy. The fire rating is derived in part from the insulating properties of concrete and the thick- ness of the concrete slab. Achieving the minimum period of fire separation between floors depends in part on achieving a minimum thickness.
Variations in the elevation of erected steel or precast concrete and in deflections of the supporting metal deck and frame under weight of concrete often make it necessary to provide additional slab thickness in local areas where the intent is to produce a relatively level slab. Care should be taken to ensure that providing additional concrete in local areas does not overload the supporting formwork or metal deck. Significant increase to slab thickness can have a nega- tive impact on structural performance.
R4.5.4 Specifiers should anticipate localized occurrences of reduced thickness for slabs-on-ground. The slab-on-ground thickness tolerance has been set with respect to both average thickness for all the samples measured and a minimum
thickness for individual samples.
Where the Specifier determines requirements of this section are inadequate for a particul ar application, the Specifier should incorporate within the Project Specifications specific sampling procedures and acceptance criteria for all elements impacting thickness of slabs-on-ground (Sections R4.4.1, R4.4.5, and R4.5.4). In such an instance, consideration might be given to statistical control of the subgrade, elevation of the concrete surface, and slab thickness.
R4.5.4.1 Thickness samples are sometimes taken in
combination with other testing, and the information gathered from that testing is valid for information purposes. Thick- ness samples taken for purposes of evaluating the slab with respect to tolerances in this specification, however, must meet the requirements of this section.
R4.5.4.2 Sampling after the specified 7-day period will not adversely affect the measured values; however, it may affect the ability to take corrective action.
R4.5.4.3 ACI 228.2R contains a discussion of the
advantages and limitations of the various test methods. A short-pulse radar device can also provide slab thickness data. The precision of this method may require that a larger number of samples be taken to provide the same degree of reliability as the methods identified in this section. Proper use of the equipment requires calibration as established in ASTM D4748 and data collection in accordance with the
provisions of ASTM D4748 using a non-contact horn antenna.

Class 6-8 floors. ASTM D4748, Table 1, shows that
concrete has a dielectric constant range of 6 to 11 for port- land-cement concrete, but does not distinguish between
high-density or low-density c oncrete, which could magnify any error associated with incorrectly assuming the average dielectric constant. Section 1. 2 of the ASTM test method shows pavements with increased attenuation of the electro- magnetic signal should not be measured with this method.
The ASTM Standard, Section 7.2.1 requires either actual cores for calibration or “best guess” practices from field operators. It is recommended that “best guess” not be used for purposes of this document.

4.8.2 Formed surfaces over distances of 10 ft
All conditions, unless noted otherwise in this section
...........................................................................±0.3% Outside corner of exposed corner column .........±0.2%
Contraction joint grooves in exposed concrete...±0.2%
R4.8.2 This is one of several pa ragraphs that address the proper location of formed surfaces. Local departure of the formed surface from the sp ecified slope or plane is
addressed in this section. A departure of 0.3% is approxi- mately 3/8 in. over a distance of 10 ft. Tolerances are based on a 10 ft measured length. Interpolation or extrapolation of tolerances for dimensions greater than or less than 10 ft are not permitted. Other sections, such as Sections 4.1 and
4.4.2, establish a global tolerance for elements.
R4.8.3 Specifiers should anticipat e local irregularities in formed surfaces. The purpose of establishing different
classes of surface is to define the magnitude of irregularities in a manner that is consistent with the exposure of the concrete when in service. As stated in Section R4.4.3, the term “exposed concrete” is used as defined in ACI Concrete Terminology. Exposed Concrete is addressed in the Manda- tory Requirements Checklist, Section 1.1.2. The Specifier should also anticipate abrupt transitions at the surface of members where segmental steel void forms are used to form floor framing members. The Sp ecifier should refer to the Mandatory Requirements Checklist.
R4.8.4 The purpose of establishing floor surface tolerances is to define surface characteris tics that are of importance to those who will be using the surface. The two surface charac- teristics thought to be of greatest importance for concrete floors are flatness and levelness. Flatness can be described as bumpiness of the floor, and is the degree to which a floor surface is smooth or plane. Levelness is the degree to which a floor surface parallels the slope established on the project drawings. Two methods are identified for use in the evalua- tion of floor surface finish tolerances. The F-Number
System uses data taken at regular intervals along lines located in random locations on the test surface. The
described methods use different criteria to evaluate the as- constructed data. Therefore, it is important that the Specifier select the method most appli cable to the end user of the floor. The Waviness Index may be used instead of the two methods identified in Sections 4.8.5 and 4.8.6 by specifying parameters established in the Optional Checklist. Before contracting to build to any floor tolerance specification, it is suggested the constructor evaluate data from tests of its own floors. Data should be processed using the proposed floor tolerance specification to confirm an understanding of the specific approach and its implications on proposed
construction means and methods. Specifiers may require the constructor to demonstrate proven ability by testing an existing floor slab installed by the constructor.
Each of the methods described herein will yield a slightly different result. Each of the described approaches uses a different method to evaluate flatness. The F-Number System
4.8.3 Formed surface irregularities (gradual or abrupt) Abrupt irregularities shall be measured within 1 in. of the irregularity. Gradual surface irregularities shall be measured by determining the gap between concrete
and near surface of a 5 ft straightedge, measured
between contact points.
Class A Surface................................................ +1/8 in.
Class B Surface................................................ +1/4 in.
Class C Surface................................................ +1/2 in.
Class D Surface................................................... +1 in.
4.8.4 Random traffic floor surface finish tolerances
shall meet the requirements of Section 4.8.5 or 4.8.6,
as specified in the Contract Documents.
4.8.4.1 A specified overall area is the entire floor
surface specified to conform to a particular surface
classification.

SPECIFICATION FOR TOLERANCES FOR CONCRETE CONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS (ACI 117-10) AND COMMENTARY 39
SPECIFICATION COMMENTARY
American Concrete Institute Copyrighted Material—www.concrete.org uses only 2 ft slope changes (center offset from a 2 ft chord).
The manual straightedge an d computerized simulation of the manual straightedge methods both use maximum offsets from chords of varying lengths up to 10 ft.
To develop an understanding of the relationship among
these approaches, the committee undertook a study of six groups of 100 indi vidual profiles each (600 total). The profiles included all quality levels likely to be produced using current construction t echniques; each of the profiles was 100 ft long. Table R4.8.4 shows partial results of that study. Evaluation of the results resulted in the tolerance values contained in Sections 4.8.5 and 4.8.6.
Floor surface classifications shown in Sections 4.8.5 and
4.8.6 vary from conventional at the low end to super flat at the high end of the flatness/levelness spectrum. Although there is no direct correlation among the described tolerancing methods, similarly classified floors in Sections 4.8.5 and
4.8.6 should provide the user with floor surfaces of
approximately the same flatness and levelness.
Floor surfaces in the conventional category can be routinely produced using strikeoff and finishing techniques that include no restraightening operations after initial strikeoff. This classification of floor surface is generally not compatible with floor coverings such as carpeting and vinyl flooring.
Conventional floor surface to lerances are appropriately applied to areas such as mechanical rooms, nonpublic areas, or surfaces under raised computer flooring or thick-set tile.
The moderately flat classification of surface tolerances will routinely require the use of float dish attachments to the power float machines or some restraightening of the
concrete surface during finishing operations to consistently achieve flatness requirements. The moderately flat surface can routinely be produced by using a wide bull float (8 to 10 ft) to smooth the concrete and a modified highway straightedge Table R4.8.4—Methods to evaluate flatness

SPECIFICATION COMMENTARY
American Concrete Institute Copyrighted Material—www.concrete.org to restraighten the surface after completion of the in itial power float pass. The use of a rider with float dishes attached to the trowel blades can reduce the amount of restraightening required by the modified highway straightedge. An appropriate use of floor surfaces with this classification would be carpeted areas of commercial office buildings or industrial buildings with low-speed vehicular traffic.
Flat floor tolerances are ap propriate for concrete floors under thin-set ceramic, vinyl tile, or similar coverings. Flat floor tolerances are also appr opriate for use in warehouses employing conventional lift trucks and racks. The flat
classification requires restraightening after floating and is the highest feasible tolerance level for suspended slabs.
Very flat floor tolerances are generally restricted to high-end industrial applications, such as might be required for
successful operation of high-speed lift trucks, air pallets, or similar equipment. Multiple restraightenings in multiple directions following both the floating and initial finishing phases are required to produce floors conforming to very flat tolerances. The use of a laser screed or rigid edge forms up to 30 ft apart can achieve the required degree of levelness.
The super-flat category is the highest quality random traffic floor surface classification th at can be routinely produced using current technology. Only skilled contractors, using sophisticated equipment, will be able to achieve this level of quality. Restraightening operations for this floor category are more rigorous than that described for the very flat category.
The super-flat random traffic category is only appropriate for limited applications, such as TV production studios.
Another type of super-flat floor surface, one that falls outside the scope of random traffic specifications, is that which is required for defined traffic applications, such as narrow aisle industrial warehouse floors. The aisle width in these installations is typically about 5 ft wide, and the narrow clearance between the vehicles and racks requires construction of an extremely smooth and level surface. The tolerance requirements normal ly dictate strip placement of concrete using closely spaced rigid forms (approximately 15 ft on center), but they can occasionally be achieved without narrow strip placement by skilled contractors using sophisticated equipment.
The evaluation of the super-flat defined traffic surface classification requires specialized techniques that should be agreed on by all parties before construction. The test
method should measure:
1. The maximum transverse elevation difference
between wheel tracks;
2. The maximum elevation difference between
front and rear axle; and
3. The maximum rate of change per foot for 1 and
2 as the vehicle travels down the aisle.

SPECIFICATION COMMENTARY
American Concrete Institute Copyrighted Material—www.concrete.org Flatness of defined traffic wheel tracks can also be specified by reference to ASTM E1486, Section 4.9.
The remedy for noncomp liance with specified defined flat- ness tolerances should be included in specification
language. For random traffic slabs-on-grade, the remedy can range from liquidated damages, to localized grinding, to application of a topping, to removal and replacement,
depending on the purpose for which the slab is being
installed. The remedy for defined traffic installations is generally grinding of high spots.
R4.8.4.4 The purpose for establishing a default 72-hour time limit on the measurement of floor surfaces is to avoid any possible conflict over the acceptability of the floor and to alert the Contractor of the need to modify finishing techniques on subsequent placements, if necessary, to
achieve compliance. All slabs will shrink; joints and cracks in slabs-on-ground will curl with time, resulting in a surface that is less flat with the passage of time. If the needs of the user are such that a delay in testing is necessary to allow successful installation of subsequent Work, this requirement for delayed testing should be clearly stated in the specifications.
4.8.4.4 Floor test surfaces shall be measured and
reported within 72 hours after completion of slab
concrete finishing operations and before removal of
any supporting shores.
4.8.4.5 Test reports shall be distributed to the
Owner, the Architect, the General Contractor, and the
flatwork contractor.
4.8.4.6 Test surface measurements shall not cross
planned changes in floor surface slope.
R4.8.4.6 Ramped (sloped) surfaces can be toleranced by
reference to ASTM E1486 or the average slope of 15 ft least squares fit of each survey line calculated in accordance with ASTM E1486, Section 4.11 and Eq. (21), (22), and (23).
Survey lines should be parallel to the direction of slope. In instances where the Specifier chooses to provide a tolerance at construction joints, specific provisions for data collection should be included in the Project Specifications.
4.8.4.7 Test results shall be reported in a manner
that will allow the data to be verified or the tests to be replicated.
4.8.5 Random traffic floor finish tolerances as
measured in accordance with ASTM E1155 shall
conform to the following requirements:
4.8.5.1 Specified overall values for flatness (SOF
F)
and levelness (SOF L) shall conform to the specified
Floor Surface Classifications, as listed in Table 4.8.5.1.
R4.8.5 The F-Number System ev aluates the flatness of a floor surface by measuring slope changes over a distance of 2 ft. Specifics of the test pr ocedure are dictated by ASTM E1155. The 2 ft slope change data are evaluated to develop an estimate of the floor’s flatness. The system evaluates the levelness of a floor surface by measuring elevation changes relative to a horizontal plane and between points separated by a distance of 10 ft. These 10 ft elevation differences are evaluated to develop an estimate of the floor’s levelness.
Higher numbers indicate better quality in the surface
characteristic being reported.

4.8.5.2 The SOF F and SOF L values shall apply
solely to the specified over all area and no subdivision thereof.
4.8.5.3 Minimum local values for flatness (MLF F)
and levelness (MLFL) shall equal 3/5 of the SOF F and
SOFL values, respectively, unless noted otherwise.
R4.8.5.2 The specified overall values SOFF and SOFL are the FF and FL numbers to which the completed project floor surface must conform viewed in its entirety. Daily F F/FL results may vary above and below SOF F/SOFL without
consequence, provided: a) that the cumulative results ulti- mately equal or exceed SOF F/SOFL, and b) that the speci- fied MLFF and MLF L values are satisfied at all locations.
The F-Number System provides daily running totals of the aggregate in-place areas that are less than, equal to, and better than SOF F and SOF L. Consequently, after the entire floor has been installed, the system permits the immediate calculation of liquidated damages based on the final
aggregate areas defective relative to either SOF
F or SOF L
(whichever yields the larger penalty).
R4.8.5.3 Some local variation in floor surface quality
should be anticipated by the Specifier, much as one should anticipate variations in results of concrete compressive tests.
These variations can be caused by normal occurrences, such as inconsistent setting time of concrete, changes in ambient conditions, or delays in de livery or placement of the
concrete. The specified MLF
F and MLF L values establish
the minimum surface quality that will be acceptable
anywhere on any of the concrete placements. Experience
has shown that the use of t ools and techniques that will generally meet specific SOF
F/SOFL requirements for the
overall concrete placement are al so sufficient to meet the associated MLFF/MLFL requirements in the minimum local
areas. Acceptance or rejecti on of a minimum local area requires that data collection within the minimum local area in question meet the requirements of ASTM E1155.
Because MLF
F and MLF L, in theory, define the minimum
usable floor, MLFF/MLFL defects normally require physical modification (that is, grinding, topping, or removal and replacement) of the entire affected minimum local area.
R4.8.5.4 Initial camber, curli ng, and deflection all
adversely affect the conforma nce of a floor surface to a plane. Limiting the use of F
L to evaluation of level slabs-on-
ground and level suspended slabs before shores or forms are removed ensures that the floor’s levelness is accurately assessed.
4.8.5.4 The SOF
L and MLF L levelness tolerances
shall apply only to level sl abs-on-ground, or to level suspended slabs that are shored when tested.

4.8.6.1 The gap under the straightedge and between
the support points shall not exceed either of the values as listed for the specified Floor Surface Classification in Table 4.8.6.1.
R4.8.6 The manual straightedge approach evaluates the flat- ness of a floor surface by placing a 10 ft long straightedge on the floor surface and measuring the maximum gap that occurs under the straightedge and between the support points.
4.8.6.2 The following minimum sampling require-
ments shall apply for test surfaces evaluated using this tolerance method:
4.8.6.2.1 A test surface is deemed to meet specified
tolerances if it complies with the maximum-gap-under-
the-straightedge limitations given in Section 4.8.6.1
above. The maximum disparity between a taut string
stretched between the bottom corners at the ends of
the straightedge and the underside of the straightedge
shall not exceed 1/32 in. at any point.
4.8.6.2.2 The minimum number of samples =
(0.01) area for floor areas measured in ft
2. A sample is
a single placement of the straightedge.
4.8.6.2.3 Orientation of the straightedge shall be
parallel, perpendicular, or at a 45-degree angle to
longest construction joint bounding the test surface.
4.8.6.2.4 An equal number of samples shall be
taken in perpendicular directions.
4.8.6.2.5 Samples shall be evenly distributed over
the test surface.
4.8.6.2.6 Straightedge centerpoint locations for
samples shall not be closer than 5 ft.
4.8.6.2.7 Test results shall be reported in a manner
that will allow the data to be verified or the test to be replicated, such as a key plan showing straightedge

R4.8.6.1 Measurements should be taken between straight- edge support points and perpendicular to its base. Smaller gaps between the straightedge and supporting surface are indicative of higher flatness quality. The use of this
approach requires that 90% of the data samples should
comply with values in the second column, and 100% of the data samples should comply with values in the third
column. This method is not sufficiently precise to evaluate very flat and super-flat categories.
R4.8.6.2 At the time the document was prepared, no
nationally accepted specification has been developed to govern evaluation of a floor surface using this procedure; therefore, minimum samplin g requirements have been
established in this section. The Specifier may provide alter- native procedures as long as specific testing requirements and acceptance criteria are established. Test results should be reported in a manner that will allow the data to be veri- fied or the test to be replicated. When using this approach to evaluate floor surfaces, levelness is subject to the provisions of Section 4.4.1; the manual straightedge approach does not directly measure levelness.

This method requires that data be collected along lines in a manner similar to that described by ASTM E1155 or ASTM
E1486. The flatness is evaluated by moving a simulated 10 ft long straightedge along each data line at 1 ft intervals. No ASTM standard has been developed to govern evaluation of a floor surface using this proced ure, so the Sp ecifier should provide specific testing requirements and acceptance criteria as described in the Mandatory Requirements Checklist.
