Coming up in the
August/September 2010
Issue of ICF Builder magazine:
SPECIAL DISTRIBUTION: ICFA EXPO
The August/September issue is always one of our most popular issues of the year. This edition is focused on disaster resistance, with an in-depth look at how ICFs perform in seismic areas.
Contributing editors Pieter Vanderwerf and Joseph Warnes lend their experience to a pair of feature-length articles that are sure to be discussed throughout the industry.
You'll want to be represented in this issue, and deadlines are fast approaching. Here's a summary of each of the major features:
Cover Feature:
ICFS AND SEISMIC RESISTANCE
Laboratory tests, computer modeling, and actual case studies all agree that ICFs are a solid choice for building in earthquake-prone areas. This article will present the facts that builders will need to convince skeptical building officials that ICFs are an acceptable building material in seismic zones.
Additional Feature:
LOW COST DISASTER RESISTANT HOUSING
Contributing editor Joseph Warnes has teamed up with structural engineer Ken Lattrell to explain how disaster-proof homes—with ICF walls and an concrete roof—can be built as cost-effective replacement homes in hurricane, earthquake, and tornado-prone areas.
Additional Feature:
ICF DEVELOPMENTS
Considered the “Holy Grail” for ICF growth, industry expert and contributing editor Pieter Vanderwerf explains what it takes for big developers to seriously consider ICFs—and how building entire neighborhoods out of the foam forms would revolutionize the industry.
Project Profile:
WALKER RESIDENCE
Built atop a hill in windswept Alberta, Canada, this palatial home can withstand wildfires, blizzards, and other natural disasters common to the area, while maintaining a light, airy inviting atmosphere inside.
In addition to these features, the magazine will contain the full range of departments you’ve come to expect. Ian Giesler, Randy Wilkerson, Robert Klob, and Cameron Ware will continue their columns, alongside the well-established Industry News and New Products sections.
