please use 3/8's... and dont pour anything close to a 4. I did not hear any rocks at all hitting the bar..hmmmm at around a 6 the concrete should be about 6+ feet infront of you. That stuff is like 3 feet. Also please sting every 16'' OC by pulling up 1 cubic foot per second with 1 inch head.
Thank you!!

I have done 38' gable with 8'' core and this is not a problem =)
I would not use that where I work. San Antonio will not use ICF because of the crazy grades we pour on and the differing engineering that is seen with drastically changing PI's. That is probably only more efficient up north, although we do some basement/split level slabs with wood panels and a two stage pour. We have done slabs with the back over 32 feet high overlooking a lake. I don't think those will hold up to the pressures of that. Over 20' is common, also.
That is super good to see how concrete fills in around icf forms. How did you make the transparent part of your wall? What concrete mix did you use and what slump? We have always used a 3/8" chip mix but have heard of crews using "sand mix" with good results. We are new to ICF construction - any suggestions are welcome. Thanks, Aric, Riff Construction
