The elements of a new method for constructing concrete foundation walls for new houses
Chapter 5, Problem 5/212(choose chapter or problem)
The elements of a new method for constructing concrete foundation walls for new houses are shown in the figure. Once the footing F is in place, polystyrene forms A are erected and a thin concrete mixture B is poured between the forms. Ties T prevent the forms from separating. After the concrete cures, the forms are left in place for insulation. As a design exercise, make a conservative estimate for the uniform tie spacing d if the tension in each tie is not to exceed 6.5 kN. The horizontal tie spacing is the same as the vertical spacing. State any assumptions. The density of wet concrete is 2400 \(kg/m^3\).
