Deef1999 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Newb here. Sorry if this is addressed elsewhere. I tried searching, but had no luck. Anyone know where I can get ICF wall details? Appreciate your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 There are some in the Library Browser under "CAD details" DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deef1999 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks David, but I'm not seeing them. I see CMU, but no ICF. Excuse my ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebdesign Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 The 2 that Chief has are in the Bonus Catalog, which you can download from Chief's libary. SSA of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Also http://www.amvicsystem.com/icf/cad/ Sometimes it is easiest to just cut and past the available pdf images into layout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deef1999 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks, to all. Anyone do custom details for a fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 How custom? What are you doing that differs from those shown by people like Logix, Amvic, and Polysteel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I have built and designed ICF homes since 1997. Send me an email and let me know what you are specifically looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tswitos Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 CJSpud, I am looking for all of the available types of joist hangers that can come with Chief. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tswitos Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 CJSpud, What is the best joist hanger to use for ICF walls when it comes to attaching the joists for the first floor? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Chief doesn't do joists hangers automatically, you have to add them manually or use a cad detail for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tswitos Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yes, I know Chief won't add them automatically, and that is not what I was asking. Thanks for the input anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The best joist hanger is the one that meets the specifications your plan calls for. Simpson StrongTie products are the most popular around here although there are other brands. There is also an embedded joist hanger available on the market that an associate of mine used to support some shed roof type trusses on his new ICF shop. Another method in use in my area are "joist pockets" ... a pocket manually created in the foam layer of the block that includes a short piece of PT lumber as a base for the joists to bear on (similar to what might be used for the end of a structural beam connected to an ICF wall). I suggest you use any CAD details available from the block manufacturer for your project. If you can get them in a .dwg format, you can always import them into your own CAD detail and then modify them as required for your project. I don't know of anyone who makes custom details for others. I suggest you learn to do that yourself, then you get exactly what you want/need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJSpud Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Here's a detail showing the McMillan "embedded" joist hangers. This is what my associate used for the shed roof on the side of his new ICF shop. Assuming your floor loads don't exceed the capacity of these hangers, they appear to me to be a more positive way of hanging a floor system to the foundation walls as compared to typical "nail on" hangers. The I-Joist pockets are even more positive as far as what they are bearing on ... literally on the concrete in the wall itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
