Remember Logix block is not flippable and there are left- and right-hand corners. Look at the videos at their website www.logixicf.com for a decent overview.
9' pour in two lifts? Look at the Logix Product Manual , the section on Concrete Placement and you'll find a table that shows Lift Heights (6" slump) for temperature from 40 to 90 degrees F. The lower the temperature the shorter the lift height.
@ 40 degrees F, lift height is 2' - 2.5" @ 80 degrees F, lift height is 4'-4.75"
Of course, bracing, additional form support and experience come into play as well. Good luck, Dave |

roch, If stacked and braced properly two lifts shouldn't be a problem, though if you have never poured an ICF wall before, I would suggest three lifts. Normally you have the pump truck there for a minimum period of time, so cost shouldn't be an issue. Like farmboy said, be sure its a 6" slump or close to it, also use small stone and you should be fine. If the slump is significantly higher or lower than the 6" you are more likly to incur a problem. |
