2 <br /> FASWALL®Wallforms are made of a wood-cement fiber composite. The wood chips have vie <br /> been mineralized to protect them from decay after which they are bound by portland cement. <br /> The wallforms dry-stack to build a wall system without the need for mortar. Each block weighs <br /> approximately 28-30 pounds. This weight,the striation of the cement-wood chip composite, and <br /> the interlocking ends of each wallform, create a stable wall even prior to the concrete infilling. <br /> Minimal bracing and alignment is required prior to infilling the wall forms with concrete. <br /> However, Faswall wallforms are not designed to carry any structural load other than the <br /> temporary concrete pressures that they are specified to contain during construction. All cut <br /> wallforms must be properly secured and installed according to the guidelines presented in this <br /> technical manual. <br /> Faswall® wood-cement forms consist of 85 %wood and 15% cement binder and like any wood- <br /> based product wall forms will shrink or expand during the curing process (about 28 days). <br /> However, once cured, the dimensional tolerance of the wall forms is consistent. Wall forms can <br /> withstand the moisture and temperature fluctuations occurring on a construction site over many <br /> months and even years. The wall forms cut very easily with circular saws and reciprocating saws <br /> and can be cut to any length required in the building design. Please consult the Materials and <br /> Tools section of this manual for further suggestions. <br /> Disclaimer: <br /> Faswall ®provides technical and installation support, however, cannot control the <br /> quality of workmanship or the inspection of building conditions or applications. <br /> FASWALL® Insulating Wood-Concrete Forms are designed so that the cores are <br /> filled with concrete and steel reinforcement. It is the concrete cores and rebus <br /> within the wallform that are the primary load carrying material of the wall system. <br /> Design of the Faswall wall system should be reviewed by an engineer. Faswall <br /> wallforms must be used according to the Manufacturer's General Application and <br /> Technical Information (GATI) and in compliance with all applicable Building <br /> Code and local regulations. The Manufacturer otherwise assumes NO <br /> responsibility. <br /> ShelterWorks General Application and Technical Information(GATI)version 2.5 <br />
