U.S. PRESCRIPTIVE ENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS

The Prescriptive Engineering provided herein consists primarily of prescriptive engineering tables and guides
to wall size and steel reinforcement schedules. The majority of this information is geared toward one- and
two-family dwellings and small commercial applications with design criteria that fall within the prescriptive tables
design criteria. Any building or wall outside the scope of the criteria must be designed and evaluated by
a structural engineer of record.

Fox Blocks does not provide project specific engineering or drawings, we simply provide
formwork for a cast-in-place concrete wall construction product. The user of this guide
is responsible for its application.

NOTICE TO ALL USERS

READ THIS FIRST

DISCLAIMER AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: By using this Fox Blocks’ prescriptive engineering design guide, the user
acknowledges and accepts the following terms and conditions:

1) Fox Blocks is the manufacturer of stay-in-place plain or steel reinforced concrete wall. The Fox Blocks
formwork is not a structural component of the wall. The plain or steel reinforced concrete wall is the
structural component.

2) This Fox Blocks prescriptive engineering guide shall be used as a reference guide only. It is not to be used
as a particular project specification or drawing detail. It may be used for estimating or as a guide for design
or construction of the concrete wall formed with Fox Blocks ICF. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure the
information provided meets local building code requirements and construction practices by consulting with
local building officials as well as design and construction professionals with appropriate structural knowledge.

3) Fox Blocks reserves the right to make changes from time-to-time to the information provided herein without
notice and assumes no liability in connection with the use of this prescriptive engineering guide and the
structural wall reinforcing design tables contained herein.

4) The structural wall reinforcing design tables contained within this prescriptive engineering guide have been
prepared in accordance with the ACI 318 design code and the International Building and Residential Codes.
The intent of these tables is to enable competent design and building professionals to determine the wall
thickness and reinforcement requirements for walls specifically constructed with Fox Blocks ICFs. The design
of these tables represents the specific geometry and reinforcement placement unique to Fox Blocks.

a. Table is based on ASCE 7-10 components and cladding wind pressures for an enclosed building using a mean roof height of 35 feet, interior
wall area 4, an effective wind area of 10 square feet, topographic factor, K, equal to 1.0, and Risk Category II.
b. Table is based on concrete with a minimum specified compressive strength of 2,500 psi.
c. Table values are based on reinforcing bars with a minimum yield strength of 60,000 psi. Vertical rebar shall be located at center of each wall.
d. Deflection criterion is L/240, where L is the unsupported height of the wall in inches.
e. Interpolation is not permitted.
f. Rebar lap splice length shall be 60 times the bar diameter, and horizontal reinforcing - See Sheet No. 15 and 16.
g. “Top” means gravity load from roof or floor construction bear on top of wall. “Side” means gravity load from floor construction is transferred
to wall from a wood ledger or cold-formed steel track bolted to side of wall. For nonload-bearing walls where floor framing members span
parallel to the wall, use of “Top” bearing condition is permitted. (See Sheet No. 15 and 16)
h. See IRC 2015 Section R608 for exterior concrete wall construction.
i. This table is not intended to prohibit the use of engineering design by Engineer of Record.
