We are getting ready to pour our top floor walls. How long do I need to let the concrete cure for the lintels to support roof trusses and roof sheeting? Lintels are 24" deep, 6 in. arxx walls.

Thanks for any help. I sure have watched this forum with great interest since deciding to build an ICF house.

Need: at least 3 days (72hrs.) - concrete will have reached 75% cure strenght. I would leave the lintel braces in place until you are ready to install the windows.
