MID-RISE DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
Insulated concrete forms (ICF) are becoming a
main stream choice for the construction of mid-rise
buildings. A prime example would be the city of
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, in which there have been
over 100 ICF mid-rise buildings constructed in the
last decade, with most located within a single square
mile. And there are more and more being built
throughout North America.
So what’s driving the use of ICF construction for
mid-rise buildings? The bottom line is that there are
inherent benefits to ICFs not found in conventional
construction (wood, CMUs, and conventional
poured-in-place concrete) that add up to savings for
designers, builders and developers.
DESIGN
The inherent benefits of building with Logix that
cannot be found with conventional construction
makes it attractive to developers who get a faster
return on their investment while producing a quality
building.
Simple, fast and efficient to build with Logix makes
mid-rise construction more cost effective compared
to conventional construction - even allowing
construction to continue through cold winter months.
In addition, the high energy efficient and airtight
buildings that Logix naturally creates can significantly
reduce heating and cooling costs.
Logix effective R-values range from R-24 to R-28+

MID-RISE DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
Safety can also be a factor for developers. Logix
mid-rise buildings are stronger and are more fire
resistant than wood structures. During construction a
wood building is more likely to collapse during a fire
compared to buildings made of reinforced concrete.
Since Logix ICF are permanent formwork systems
for reinforced concrete walls, the structural design
of ICFs is based on the same design principles and
design codes (ACI 318 and CSA A23.3) as conventional
reinforced concrete structures. This makes it an easy
transition from conventional concrete to ICFs for
design engineers.
In addition, because the concrete is perpetually
insulated, and protected from the elements,
shrinkage and temperature cracks are reduced, which
could reduce the amount of rebar required to control
shrinkage and temperature cracks.
For architects, the added detailing required,
including the costs of added materials and labor, to
comply with the new, and more stringent, energy
efficiency requirements increases with conventional
construction. However, the high thermal insulation
values inherent in Logix ICFs, including the thermal
mass properties of concrete, can readily meet the new
energy requirements without adding material costs or
labor, and makes detailing less cumbersome.
Due to the thick rigid foam insulation, and mass
properties of concrete, ICFs are also known to provide
high STC values, and are commonly used not just for

Logix provides additional products that makes the design process with ICFs easier for engineers. See “Specific Logix ICF Products That Enhance Speed & Efficiency for Mid-rise Construction” in this document.
Logix also maintains a CAD library of common, and not so common, drawing details use by architects and engineers. The CAD library contains a variety of details from foundation to roof that can apply to residential and commercial projects. To view the CAD library online visit the Logix Technical Library.
