seems to me that with the ICF floor/deck parts that diagonally tieing the re-bar in the bottom of the channels that maake concrete beams to the remesh or re bar that runs flat on the deck would make this much stronger. .. ie a 6 or 8 inch remesh like arrangement tied to the 2 steel rebars running upwards to the deck i would most likely just poke them through the remesh on the top and twist it in. or is it just the labor that concerns the engineer/builder
 or am i totally missing the point here or something

I am not sure what you mean. But if I do, with an ICF floor form to ICF connection, the rebar hooks connect the rebar in the bottom of the beam section to the wall ICFs. Engineers have never required the rebar or remesh to be connected to the wall.

yes .. the rebar snaps to the bottom but it seems to me if this rebar in the bottom was diagonally connected to the remesh/rebar on top it would make it alot stronger although alot more labor intensive. giving it a shear/twist reinforcement?

this is what i am talking about .. a sort of diagonal tie from beam bottom to rebar/remesh in the deck/pad .. wouldnt this make it although alot more labor also stronger?

Sturrips will make a difference- they tie the bottom rebar to the top rebar. The loads generated do not require what you are thinking of doing.

ah yea that would be easier . but was thinkig that that when the deck pushes down that would be covered by the high compressive strength of concrete. i was thinking more of the shear strength.
and yes i relize i am over analyzing it thats what i do i cant do anything with out understanding it . i sometimes wish that i could just say um what ever just do it
