Studies on Probability-Based Design for Residential Construction

The focus of this study is on wood-frame (light-frame) residential structures built using nominal 2-by framing lumber, structural sheathing, and nail fasteners-materials most commonly used. This study attempts to quantify the "experience" of conventional residential construction in terms of modern concepts of reliability as used in the development of engineering...

Cost and Benefits of Insulating Concrete Forms for Residential Construction

Through several studies of ICF construction costs, it has been determined that using ICF wall construction generally adds about 3 to 5 percent to the total purchase price of a typical wood-frame home and land (about 5 to 10 percent of the house construction cost). This guide discusses several benefits...
