This paper represents the study of the Insulating concrete forms (ICF) which are specifically used for thethermal insulations. It is used in residential as well as used in commercial buildings. As per past researches the ICFsystem gives thermal insulations but the compressive strength of the polystyrene concrete is less as compare to thenormal concrete. That’s why the slabs with different configuration by combining both materials as monolithicconstruction is casted and tested in this study. In this approach, normal concrete gives the structural strength and thepolystyrene concrete gives the thermal insulation. Results of the flexure test of both specimens with are presented in thispaper. This study gives the structural viability of this type of monolithic construction
