Author Messages Oldest First Newest First icf building co. Registered Users Posts:5 07/10/2008 5:13 PM   Has anyone had experience building a 100ft by 200ft ICF building? I don't have alot of info on this one but what I do know is 15ft ceilings and clearspan roof system Aaron McKinney Registered Users Posts:30 07/10/2008 6:20 PM   Yep. I worked on Sun valley Community Church in Gilbert AZ. The dimensions were somewhere around 400' x 100' with walls up to 45'. Why do you ask? Paul Stevens Registered Users Posts:95 07/10/2008 6:40 PM   I have built a couple of large food storage barns 60' by 150', 24' heigh. Just like Aaron I am curious how we can help??? icf building co. Registered Users Posts:5 07/10/2008 7:30 PM   I'm trying to get a sense of the feasibility of it and what recommendations may be made for the roof - would pilasters be typical for something this size. We just built a 40ft by 100ft 18ft tall and a wood truss roof was very simple so I'm wondering how much more complicated this might be. Your experiences and opinions would be appreciated. thanks Aaron McKinney Registered Users Posts:30 07/10/2008 7:42 PM   On the job I mentioned above the trusses were steel and spanned from one side to the other. I have a business profile here http://briz.com/bprofile.cfm?bid=1403 that you can see. If you click on the picture it will enlarge. icf building co. Registered Users Posts:5 07/10/2008 8:12 PM   Aaron That's what I was looking for. Is that a 100ft steel truss? Aaron McKinney Registered Users Posts:30 07/10/2008 9:35 PM   It has been a couple years and I don't have the plans with me so from what I can remember I'm going to guess somewhere around 80'. I could be wrong, if I can find the dimensions I will let you know. ICFconstruction Registered Users Posts:35 07/11/2008 9:43 PM   I will be building a 5-6 thousand sf building and want to go as wide as I can, economically. What is a good max width for a hip roof and inexpensive trusses? I was also thinking of doing a center wall. ICFconstruction.net medelpad01 Registered Users Posts:3 07/31/2008 9:28 PM   You need to have a expansion joint approximately every 75 ft. of wall run to allow for the concrete to expand or shrink. This can be done with a pvc membrane that the poured wall guys use. irnivek Registered Users Posts:260 08/10/2008 11:52 PM   medelpad01: Where did you get your expansion joint info? Kevin
