A very interesting system. Putting the insulation inside the pour is much better than normal ICF, however it seems there is a lot of space for thermal bridging between foam sheets and at the beam/post areas. Find a solution for that, and it would be a winner.

Concrete roofs in many hurricane prone parts of the world are simply painted with a waterproofing, no shingles to apply or to be lost in storms. Concrete roofs are great in hurricanes, but in earthquakes they kill people in collapses when the forces are too great for the design or when the design and/or work was insufficient.

The concern about concrete roofs and the weight and seismic events is legitimate. However, reinforced concrete does address much of this problem. In the cases of the Nimitz Freeway collapse (1989 Loma Prieta EQ ~6.7) and the Hanshin Expressway (1995 Kobe ~6.9), the design was deficient and codes have since addressed this, at least this is what we are told. The situation was very different as well. In the cases of EQ disasters like the Haitian EQ there was little or no reinforcement. Is had little to no tensile or shear strength. It is the URM that has most often been destroyed. In too many cases the codes don't exist or are not followed or are insufficient. The key here would be getting an engineer to design for the seismic needs of your site and then to add a safety factor above that based on your tolerance for the additional cost.

Wouldnt it be better to put the foam closer to the outside so that more concrete is within the thermal envelope of the house? Thermal mass outside the thermal envelope isn't even close to as useful as thermal mass inside the thermal envelope. Also, for the roofing system, you could probably save a lot of labor by using Helix reinforcement.

studies show that even very small thermal breaks nullify insulation. It is quite surprising. The thermal breaks shown here would make this system unsuitable for very cold climates. Also, the thermal mass he speaks of on the inside part of the wall is good only for cooling, and not for heating environments. It is very expensive to heat up all that concrete and it won't stay as a heat battery anyway because that 2 inches of foam insulation is only R10. Then you have the thermal breaks which reduce that to about an R2. To use the spider ties in cold climates like northern Canada, you would need to forego the 2 inch foam board inside, and just pour 10 inches of concrete then make an entire wood framed wall on the inside and put your insulation inside that. Then you can put as much insulation as you like.

I've been shopping around between all the different building systems out there, and this is so far quite a decent one. It's a good compromise of unbroken insulation of ICF vs the atrocious thermal bridging of traditional studs --- the gaps are much narrower, thus less bridging potential per gap. The finished product has exposed concrete vs foam. Concrete surfaces are is easier to waterproof than foam. It's also easier to anchor into concrete than foam. If you don't want to drill into concrete, the wood sheets can be kept on. If the loss of durability and strength is compensated elsewhere, you can use aircrete for added insulation value (and mitigate the thermal bridging). This might be more useful on the roof where you want to keep the weight down anyway. No system is perfect. It's all about compromising for the best possible solution for all the design-criteria in mind. ICF may be better for one client than the other. It all depends. For me, this style of concrete walls is more appealing over ICF.

You only have to google rebar rust in concrete to see that it is the opposite. When steel rusts it flakes apart and diminishes in size. It does not expand. It will weaken the rebar but this would take decades. Rusting comes from oxidation and there is very little free oxygen floating around in a concrete block. If for some reason your pour wasn't done correctly and there are pockets of oxygen, you are literally talking about 50-60 years for rebar to rust in such a low oxygen environment. We use small hand held and a larger machine to vibrate or small knock the walls which cause the weight of the concrete to push the air bubbles to the surface. I am looking at building this way in Florida and rock rebar has come down in price substantially so it ,may depend upon where you live and how much rock rebar is being used for construction.

I know that to get concrete to flow it has to have lots of water, but watered down concrete is very weak. I am also concerned about those, (what appears to be plastic stands) because they will form what is essentially called "Cold Breaks" on weak concrete, especially in the roof. Concrete can flex and rebar is what is supposed to keep it from cracking, but with those cold-break plastic pieces, I believe you may be headed for a house that will not withstand a good earthquake as we have out here in California. Poor or weak concrete can be turned into mush with just a five minute quake, as was made evident when the Loma-Prieta quake collapsed a double-decker freeway because the concrete could not withstand the constant movement. Remember my friends, just because someone comes up with a new system does not make it invulnerable. Engineers are wrong many times and the last place you want them to be wrong is in the design of a concrete roof, especially with WEAK CONCRETE !!!

Many of the additibes are chemical and since I was not that kind of engineer by training. I do not recall all names. But one additove that does stand out was called Slag. Slag: Coal ash. Usually high in mercury and other heavy metals. Pits of it overflow and clog rivers near power plants. It does add a great deal of strength however. So - bad for wells and groundwater but strong. What do I recommend? Homework. Concrete is less of a mystery now thanks to the Internet.

Meh. Alot of initial cost to the builder. Way more in labor. Only good if you have a bunch of homes planned. Good luck finding a builder. Tilt up is probably way cheaper

This is stupid, it may "Work" and it may be faster, but it makes a house that is very difficult to make even simple modifications. And as for concrete resisting storms, this is nonsense, flooding is what does the damage, and these homes will not be immune to flooding. Also concrete is super expensive and becoming more so. Lastly, specialised experience will need very expensive.

Steven Marsh there's already been a solution for flooding.... Don't build on a freaking slab! Also not every place floods during a hurricane and especially during tornadoes... Which is what this concept is designed for. What modifications on the roof do you have in mind? Dormers? Lol

Actually yes, dormers would be nice, and maybe adding another floor, how about solar panels? Now the installing cost is doubled because the installer is going to destroy lots of masonry bits and a couple of hammer drills. Or maybe you want to build an addition, in which case, now you have cut into a concrete wall. Besides, I've been in two hurricanes and this would not withstand damage from a big tree blowing over, it would crack and be much more expensive to fix than wood framing. The only other damage is usually shingles getting blown off of old roofs.

Steven Marsh well the answer to your argument is to plan and plan and plan again. Build it right the first time, or don't build at all. This is obviously for the custom builders that aren't planning on building in typical suburban HOA neighborhoods. Why would anyone want to put a big hole(s) in the roof for dormers in Florida or any coastal city anyway? Concrete is a lot stronger than you think it is. Look at the 2 houses in Moore, OK. The walls held strong but lost their wooden roofs.

Decided to add another comment because I just don't like this system. A well-built wooden house can withstand hurricane force winds, there are millions of wooden homes that have done so, so I don't care if one built with this system can withstand hurricane winds. This is an invention in search of an expensive market, which TIES you to a product that comes with a host of unknowns. Certainly the majority of the contractors out there will lack the necessary experience to work on a house built using this system, and those that do will charge more money, so this is a bad idea on so many levels, but especially where money is concerned. Next, concrete is very co2 intensive and not biodegradable.

you can break it apart and use it as aggregate on the next project, it isn't as co2 intensive as the animal products industry or china's overwhelming co2 contribution compared to ours, and there really aren't many wooden houses that stand up against actual hurricanes.

how many wood houses stood up to Hurricane Michael? They needed this.

Jonathan Underwood- a properly built wooden house can be made as hurricane resistant as one of these, a timber frame house can easily resist hurricane force winds. But if you read my comment you'll see that my concerns have more to do with cracking, as well as the cost to modify or repair.

valid points. looking at the panama city areas that got hit the hardest i estimate that around 10% give or take of buildings survived it at only a category 4, edging the criteria for a cat 5. it wasn't even stationary, nor did the area get hit with the alterior side of the eye wall where winds are flipped around at equal intensity. nearly all the trees were stripped bare, and will look like a ghost forest if not replaced. many houses that weren't torn off their foundations are only there because a stronger structure was shielding them plenty of reasons to go with a future proof design like this one

The heat of a wild fire will melt the insulation panels within the concrete structure.

Really, dude? You think this is fireproof? Seriously, the fire danger in wood construction is in suburban and urban environments. Fire in one structure won't spread to the whole city. If JUST the insulation melted, you could just refill the gap with new foam, easy, peasy!

Do you remember the big fire with many killed people in an Appartement building in London/England last year? The fire could spread so easily because of burning Styropor and other plastic stuff! The same stuff used here.

Seriously??? You don't know the name of the building or the material ie "plastic stuff" that caught fire but you know it's "the same stuff used here"? lol BTW it was the grenfell tower fire and the cladding was on the outside of the building and know hazard. The insulation in this post will be in concrete and the type of used could vary. So nothing you said was correct but since you're just trolling it didn't matter. So have fun playing the fool.
