Description: This publication provides prescriptive requirements to facilitate the use of SIP roofs on concrete wall systems (such as poured concrete, concrete masonry, and insulated concrete form walls) for the construction of one- and two-family dwellings, townhouses, and other attached single-family residences and accessory structures. These provisions include definitions, span tables, material requirements, and other related information to enable home builders, design professionals, and building code officials to more easily design and review plans for concrete homes with SIPs roofs. The provisions in this document were developed by applying accepted engineering practices, standard test procedures and practical construction techniques and comply with the loading requirements of the most recent U.S. model building codes at the time of publication. Included are prescriptive provisions for the roof connections for typical concrete homes with SIP roof systems reflected industry best practice and are designed to reduce the need for engineering for most applications.
