ICC-ES AC292
Full Name
ICC-ES AC292 – Acceptance Criteria for Plastic Footing Form Systems
Scope
ICC-ES AC292 outlines the acceptance criteria for plastic footing form systems used in conjunction with fiber construction tubes to create concrete footings. These systems are designed to replace traditional wood or metal forms in the construction of pad footings.
The scope of AC292 includes:
- Material specifications: defines the acceptable materials for the plastic footing forms, including their strength, durability, and resistance to environmental factors.
- Design and configuration: specifies the design requirements for the footing form systems, including their dimensions, shape, and connection details.
- Performance criteria: establishes the performance requirements for the footing forms, such as their ability to withstand the pressure of the concrete and maintain their shape during curing.
- Testing and evaluation methods: outlines the procedures for testing and evaluating the footing form systems to ensure they meet the acceptance criteria, including tests for strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability.
By establishing these acceptance criteria, ICC-ES AC292 aims to ensure the safe and effective use of plastic footing form systems in building construction. It provides a standardized framework for manufacturers, designers, and building officials to assess the suitability of these systems for various applications.
