Because of the ICF shape, bracing, pressure, weight of concrete and everything. Why do you want a dome?

For a dome I think it would be best to shotcrete over a removable form then spray-foam it.

I think the construction method at this link http://www.monolithic.com/ is a more practical approach to building a dome home than would be using ICF blocks.

Even a retired engineer can build a house successfully w/ GBT help!
