Generated explanation

The illustration shows block and panel configurations of insulated concrete forms used for foundation walls. On the left, foam insulation blocks are stacked with staggered joints, creating a cavity into which concrete is poured. Plastic frames hold the forms in position and support reinforcing steel, as noted by the callout. On the right, paired ribbed foam panels form the two faces of a wall cavity. No defects or improper installation practices are depicted.
