Bob explores innovative construction technologies insul tarp and reddiform polystyrene blocks as the structure is reinforced and the first floor walls st.
Polystyrene walls filled concrete.
In the most basic use of concrete in construction using smartblock accomplishes in one step what normally requires numerous steps.
For a stronger concrete increase the sand used and decrease the styrofoam by the same amount.
Lightweight concrete also known as epscrete expanded polystyrene concrete is a material widely used in the building of environmentally green homes.
The standard form blocks are each 10x10x40 inches and have interlocking notched edges that make it simple to lay and align the blocks into a tightly fitted wall surface.
Of eps on each side.

Insulated concrete form walls are constructed by pouring concrete into hollow pre formed panels which are most commonly made of expanded polystyrene or extruded polystyrene foam.
The finished wall will be 5 75 in.
They are a lightweight polystyrene eps stay in place concrete form that speeds construction and yields a highly insulated wall.
Interlocking blocks of expanded polystyrene eps have been used as permanent forms for a variety of wall installations with concrete being placed in the voids in the patented eps blocks.
It simultaneously acts as the forming system for placing concrete the structural system for above and below grade walls as superior stay in place insulation sound suppression and as the.
