Does anyone know if any ICFs have gone through the ASTM 2322-03 “Standard Test Method for Physical Assault on Vertical Fixed Barriers for Detention and Correctional Facilities”?

It seems to me that the concrete and rebar should be the focus, but I'm running into resistance. I'd appreciate learning if anyone else has been up against this.

Sorry, never been to jail.

I do know that BallistiCrete/PlasterMax has been used as an abuse resistant coverings for jails.

I believe that California is considering ICF for prisons...or so I have been told.

After much diiscussion, it turns out that the ICF is not really the concern. The sticking point is the finish. In order for ICFs to be considered for prisons, the finish material applied to ICF has to have been qualified under ASTM F2322-03 “Standard Test Method for Physical Assault on Vertical Fixed Barriers for Detention and Correctional Facilities” (http://www.astm.org/Standards/F2322.htm).

Anybody have any info on this?

Talk to Andrew Dennis of Gigacrete he could be helpful to you.

Am a distributor of GigaCrete and it has indeed been used in prisions, correctional facilities, goverment/military buildings.  It has been tested high abrasion and impact resistance according to ASTM C1629 and ASTM D5420.  Please contact me or see www.TheGreenBuildingProductsStore.com for more info

Thanks, folks. I have spoken with Andrew. He's done some testing, but I'm not sure if he's done this specific one. I am also not sure if this is actually the "right" test, as it is a fixed barrier test, and I would think that again goes to the steel and concrete. Does anyone know the argument for which is the "correct" test and why?

Testing was done over foam and it exceeded all requirments .
