: The guide covers critical design elements including horizontal and vertical loads, factors of safety for accessories, and preparation of detailed formwork drawings.
Best practices for the preparation, assembly, and removal (stripping) of forms. Materials:
This standard provides guidelines for the safe and efficient use of stay-in-place insulating concrete forms (ICFs) for cast-in-place concrete construction. ICFs are used to build energy-efficient and sustainable structures, and this standard aims to ensure that they are constructed safely and to provide a high level of serviceability.
ACI 347.14 is a document titled "Guide to Formwork for Concrete." This guide provides information on the design, construction, and use of formwork for concrete. The guide is intended for architects, engineers, contractors, and others involved in the construction industry.
Clearly defining the tolerances and safety responsibilities between the structural engineer and the contractor.
