Abstract

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